Lyrics — Static Bloom
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
