Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
