Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She folds the map and drives without a name

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

She folds the map and drives without a name

The radio plays songs from someone else
