Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The voltage drops when memory persists

The voltage drops when memory persists

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
