Lyrics — Signal Decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
