Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
