Lyrics — Amber Frequency
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The radio plays songs from someone else
