Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A satellite receives but won't respond
