Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The voltage drops when memory persists

A satellite receives but won't respond

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The garden grows in monochrome and ash
