Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The radio plays songs from someone else

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

She folds the map and drives without a name

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The voltage drops when memory persists

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
