Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
