Lyrics — Static Bloom
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
