Lyrics — Signal Decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
