Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
