Lyrics — Signal Decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
