Discography

Lyrics — Static Bloom

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A satellite receives but won't respond

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
