Discography

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
