Lyrics — Signal Decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
