Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
