Lyrics — Signal Decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
