Lyrics — Signal Decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
