Lyrics — Static Bloom
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
