Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
