Lyrics — Amber Frequency
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
