Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
