Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The voltage drops when memory persists

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The garden grows in monochrome and ash
