Lyrics — Signal Decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
