Lyrics — Amber Frequency
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
