Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
