Lyrics — Static Bloom
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else

The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
