Lyrics — Signal Decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
