Lyrics — Static Bloom
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
