Lyrics — Signal Decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
