Lyrics — Signal Decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
