Lyrics — Signal Decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
