Lyrics — Static Bloom
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
