Lyrics — Signal Decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The radio plays songs from someone else
