Lyrics — Signal Decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
