Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
