Lyrics — Signal Decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
