Lyrics — Amber Frequency
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
