Discography

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
