Lyrics — Hollow Crown
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
