Lyrics — Amber Frequency
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
