Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The voltage drops when memory persists

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A satellite receives but won't respond

A telescope aimed at an empty chair
