Lyrics — Signal Decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
