Lyrics — Amber Frequency
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
