Lyrics — Signal Decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
