Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The radio plays songs from someone else

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Counting shadows on the basement stairs
