Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
