Lyrics — Amber Frequency
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
