Discography

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
