Discography

Lyrics — Static Bloom

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The radio plays songs from someone else

The radio plays songs from someone else

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She folds the map and drives without a name

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
