Lyrics — Signal Decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
