Lyrics — Signal Decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
