Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The voltage drops when memory persists

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
