Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
