Lyrics — Signal Decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
