Lyrics — Amber Frequency
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
