Lyrics — Signal Decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
