Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

A satellite receives but won't respond

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The voltage drops when memory persists

A satellite receives but won't respond

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The voltage drops when memory persists

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

She folds the map and drives without a name

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A telescope aimed at an empty chair
