Lyrics — Signal Decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
