Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A compass spins inside a locked museum

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A compass spins inside a locked museum

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
