Lyrics — Signal Decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
