Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The voltage drops when memory persists

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

She folds the map and drives without a name

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

She folds the map and drives without a name

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A satellite receives but won't respond

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
