Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
