Lyrics — Amber Frequency
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
