Discography

Lyrics — Static Bloom

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A satellite receives but won't respond

The radio plays songs from someone else

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

She folds the map and drives without a name

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The voltage drops when memory persists
