Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
