Lyrics — Static Bloom
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
