Lyrics — Signal Decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The voltage drops when memory persists
