Lyrics — Amber Frequency
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
