Lyrics — Static Bloom
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
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
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
