Discography

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
