Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The voltage drops when memory persists

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

She folds the map and drives without a name

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
