Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
