From the recording Demo Days
Lyrics
Dead signal
Verse 1
I was a thief in a house with no doors
Stealing air just to settle the score
Every “forever” I slipped through the cracks
Left you breathing, the smoke I dragged back
Pre-Chorus
Static in the lines
Every word misfires
I was speaking in tongues
While you translated lies
Chorus
Dead signal, dead line
Cut the cord, I’m done this time
I was the fault in the design
I’ll take the blame, but not rewind
Verse 2
I wore your trust like a stain on my sleeve
Spilled it out, it was nothing to me
You were a lighthouse burning for miles
I steered straight into rocks with a smile
Pre-Chorus
You were steady as hell
I was drifting away
Like a ghost in the wires
With nothing to say
Chorus
Dead signal, dead line
Cut the cord, I’m done this time
I was the fault in the design
I’ll take the blame, but not rewind
Bridge
Ash in the hallway, keys in the sink
We built a fire just to watch it sink
No resurrection, no alibi
Just a clean break, no goodbye
Final chorus
Dead signal, dead line
No return, no fifteenth try
I was the fault in the design
I’ll take the blame-
But not this time
But not this time
