Lyrics — Static Bloom
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
