Lyrics — Signal Decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
