Lyrics — Amber Frequency
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
