Lyrics — Amber Frequency
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
