Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
