Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A compass spins inside a locked museum

She folds the map and drives without a name

A compass spins inside a locked museum

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
