Lyrics — Signal Decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
