Lyrics — Static Bloom
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
