Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
