Lyrics — Hollow Crown
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A compass spins inside a locked museum
