Lyrics — Signal Decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
