Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The radio plays songs from someone else

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

He trades his coat for silence and a key

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A satellite receives but won't respond

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
