Lyrics — Amber Frequency
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
