Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A satellite receives but won't respond

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A satellite receives but won't respond

A satellite receives but won't respond

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The ceiling drips with questions left on read
