Discography

Lyrics — Signal Decay

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The radio plays songs from someone else

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

She writes her will in disappearing ink

She folds the map and drives without a name

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Counting shadows on the basement stairs
