Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
