Discography

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
