lyrics

so in love with being empty,
so in love with being angry,
so in love with being hurt,
and gulping air so that my lungs were going to burst
and you were there, and you were there, and you were there.

so in love with being difficult,
in love with getting lost,
so in love with being wrong,
so in love with being wrong.
and you were there, and you were there, and you were gone.

last night, i stayed awake with everything i should have said.
and you were sleeping like in pantomime,
your hands folded underneath your head.
you were playing dead
and while your eyes were shut, you wondered if it hurts
you wondered if the world would end,
you wondered if that might be any worse

so in love with being empty,
so in love with being angry,
so in love with being hurt,
and gulping air so that my lungs were going to burst
and you were there, and you were there.
you were playing dead.

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.
