Lyrics — Signal Decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
