Lyrics — Signal Decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
