Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
