Lyrics — Static Bloom
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
