Lyrics — Static Bloom
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
