Lyrics — Static Bloom
She folds the map and drives without a name
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
