Lyrics — Signal Decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
