Lyrics — Amber Frequency
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
