Lyrics — Static Bloom
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
