Discography

Lyrics — Static Bloom

The radio plays songs from someone else

The voltage drops when memory persists

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The radio plays songs from someone else

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

She folds the map and drives without a name

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
