Lyrics — Static Bloom
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
