Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
