Lyrics — Signal Decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
