Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A compass spins inside a locked museum

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She writes her will in disappearing ink

She writes her will in disappearing ink

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
