EMPTY SEAT RIOT | PME

An empty seat in the front row, a coat that still says hello, and a joke that won't stop playing on repeat. Empty Seat Riot is a jangly indie rock / post-punk revival song about laughing it off and then missing someone in the punchline. Lyrics: Empty seat in the front row Your coat still says hello I got your joke on repeat Like a coin in my sleeve You left the room half-drawn I kept the frame and moved on Now every glance gets sharp teeth When the night leans on me Empty seat riot Empty seat riot You said "stay" then you vanished Now the whole thing feels half-lit Empty seat riot Empty seat riot I laugh like it's nothing Then I miss you in the punchline Milk in the sink went sour Same little crack on the hour I fold your name like a bill Hide it under the till You left the room half-drawn I kept the frame and moved on Now every glance gets sharp teeth When the night leans on me Empty seat riot Empty seat riot You said "stay" then you vanished Now the whole thing feels half-lit I tried to call it a phase But the cupboard kept your shape Every bruise in the paint Looks a bit like your face Empty seat riot Empty seat riot I laugh like it's nothing Then I miss you in the punchline Pat Mind Eye (PME)
