Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
