Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

She folds the map and drives without a name

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
