Lyrics — Amber Frequency
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
