Lyrics — Static Bloom
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
