Lyrics — Signal Decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
