Discography

Lyrics — Static Bloom

A satellite receives but won't respond

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The radio plays songs from someone else

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The voltage drops when memory persists

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Rust collects where fingerprints should be
