Lyrics — Signal Decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
