Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
