Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
