Lyrics — Static Bloom
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
