Lyrics — Signal Decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
