Lyrics — Static Bloom
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
