Lyrics — Amber Frequency
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
