Lyrics — Signal Decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
