Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
