Lyrics — Static Bloom
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
