Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
