Pareidolia by The Serviettes

We're just ghosts that don't know it yet
Wrap up your hopes
Extract your dreams
Replace them with regrets

Up in the sky above us
The clouds they coalesce
Into a vision of the daughter that you never had

Licked my wounds so many times before
I can't taste
Can't taste the blood any more
Shadows dancing on the wall
Assume the human form

I'm still here
I need a sign
The stimuli intertwine
Swear I heard the muttered sound of words
Within the songs of the birds

Burn the witch
If you really must
Just don't be surprised
If your soil still turns to dust

If i have to hear another bird recording, i'll ... oh. Never mind. I like the arrangement, with the "brass" going some way to off-setting a not very memorable tune. The vocal is much better than last round's. By the end, I'm wondering if this was your attempt to write a Bond theme.

Birds, right? At least you use them more than just as an intro and there is a reference in the lyric, right? I love how you used the idea of the title well in the lyric. You did the "show don't tell" bit in the lyric. And the rhythmic elements are cool. Nice use of repetition at the end. I think I've overlooked this song a bit. I apologize if I've ranked it lower than it deserves. To be fair, there were a ton of decent entries this round.
