Lyrics — Static Bloom
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
