Lyrics — Signal Decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
