Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A satellite receives but won't respond
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
