Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A compass spins inside a locked museum

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The voltage drops when memory persists

A satellite receives but won't respond

The voltage drops when memory persists

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A satellite receives but won't respond

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
