lyrics

i am made of cold air
that finds its way through the window frame
i am made of pain pills and headaches
that don't seem to go away
i am made of sirens and stones
i am made of metronomes, i am made of metronomes
i am made of fear
i wish that i was anywhere but here.
i wish that i was anywhere but here.

all i have inside of me is caffeine and half-time,
white noise, distractions and late nights
i wish i could fade away, i wish that i was different
i wish that i was anywhere but here
so say this all again through your teeth as you're leaving
say it like a secret in my ear
you and i are made almost entirely of highways,
entirely of state lines,
entirely of goodbyes.

i am made from these alarms
that remind my stupid heart to keep on beating
say this all again until it loses all its meaning
say this all again until it loses all its meaning
say this all again until it loses all its meaning
say this all again until it loses all its meaning

about

Empty Orchestra Flint, Michigan

We are Empty Orchestra, and we are an American musical group from Flint, Michigan.
Our songs are fistfights of traditions and generations and genres and tempos and hope and doubt and death and punchlines. Our roots are in punk rock and our ambitions are for song creation without boundaries.
We are a community. We love making songs, we love playing songs, we love you. Thanks. This is fun.
