Lyrics — Signal Decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
