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
