lyrics

scene: a country road.
there's a stone and a tree in the shadow of evening
and everything is still but the sound of your breathing,
forever waiting for what may never come.
forever struggling, but there's nothing to be done.
nothing to be done.
scene: a wooden door.
"the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more."
the way is shut, the door is closed
the curtain's drawn, the story's old
how long can we stand at the side of this road?
how long can we go on?
how long can we go on?
how long?

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.
