Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

She folds the map and drives without a name

She folds the map and drives without a name

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
