Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

The radio plays songs from someone else

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

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

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

She folds the map and drives without a name

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The radio plays songs from someone else

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Counting shadows on the basement stairs
