Discography

Lyrics — Static Bloom

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The voltage drops when memory persists

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A satellite receives but won't respond

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The voltage drops when memory persists

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
