Lyrics — Amber Frequency
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
