The Empty Orchestras

song I wrote two years ago when I was living in Hong Kong - I saw the movie Death Defying Acts and really liked it so I wrote about it. :3

Lyrics
to see up the mountain what comes down with the rain
all the coins in the fountain that alleviate all the pain
“no phantoms escape us”, no ghosts in the blood I’ve bled
was my name the last thing that she said?

my right hand man, did he tell you all my secrets
so I could live on, my phantoms all resolved?
or did he betray me when his back was against the wall?

I can keep this winter at bay
cause I never feared the cold
as much as I was afraid
of leaving you on your own

Defying death isn’t all it took
some sleight of hand, hidden keys
I’m a paper tiger and you’re the crook
that will catch this thief

my right hand man, did he ask you for your secrets
to see a future that he could not prevent?
or did he betray me never asking what it meant?
