Discography

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
