Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
