Lyrics — Amber Frequency
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
