Lyrics — Amber Frequency
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
