Discography

Lyrics — Static Bloom

A satellite receives but won't respond

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The radio plays songs from someone else

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The voltage drops when memory persists
