Lyrics — Static Bloom
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
