Lyrics — Static Bloom
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
