Lyrics — Amber Frequency
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
