Lyrics — Hollow Crown
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
