Lyrics — Hollow Crown
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
