Lyrics — Signal Decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
