Lyrics — Static Bloom
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She folds the map and drives without a name
