Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
