Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A satellite receives but won't respond

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
