Lyrics — Static Bloom
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
