Lyrics — Static Bloom
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
