Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
