Lyrics — Amber Frequency
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The voltage drops when memory persists
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
