Lyrics — Static Bloom
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
