Lyrics — Static Bloom
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The voltage drops when memory persists
