Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

The radio plays songs from someone else

She folds the map and drives without a name

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The radio plays songs from someone else

A satellite receives but won't respond

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The radio plays songs from someone else

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

She writes her will in disappearing ink
