Discography

Lyrics — Static Bloom

A satellite receives but won't respond

The voltage drops when memory persists

The radio plays songs from someone else

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
