Lyrics — Signal Decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
