Lyrics — Amber Frequency
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The voltage drops when memory persists
