Lyrics
That old Panasonic from the closet shelf
A box of bad wiring I built for myself
The play button's stuck, it's a quarter-inch deep
But your ghost is a promise the plastic can keep
[Chorus]
Oh, your voice is a load-bearing wall in my chest
I play it on loop, I am putting it to the test

I play it on loop, I am putting it to the test
It is the only signal getting through
[Bridge]
Is this just a feedback loop, a system in decay?
The shear stress of a memory that won't give way?
[Outro]
Signal's clear. Signal clear.
