Lyrics — Signal Decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
