Lyrics — Static Bloom
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
