Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

The voltage drops when memory persists

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The radio plays songs from someone else

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

She folds the map and drives without a name

A satellite receives but won't respond

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
