Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A satellite receives but won't respond

A satellite receives but won't respond

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The voltage drops when memory persists

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

She folds the map and drives without a name

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
