Lyrics — Static Bloom
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
