Lyrics — Signal Decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
