kt tunstall - invisible empire lyrics
i thought the candle was gonna go out;
the wind was blowing and the door was open,
but the candle never went out, never went out.
the wave found it’s way to the sh-r-, i thought it was a ripple and nothing
more
but the wave found it’s way all the way to the sh-r-
oh, i wanna burn this house. i know, i wanna jump into the fire;
oh, i’ve got to tear them down; the pinnacles of my invisible empire.
i know the gamble never works twice,
all the distractions at the table and the weighted dice
but the thrill of it feels so nice, you’d do it all again
but i look to the chips and lose,
i’m standing on the platform with my neck in the noose
and i know it’s not my time, not my time.
oh, i wanna burn this house. i know, i wanna jump into the fire;
oh, i want to tear them down; the pinnacle of my invisible empire.
and if i do all the things i do, well i tell myself that i’m staying true
i’ll never stop, you know i’ll never stop, no i’ll never think about it
put an end to all this time, that i would spend with it on my mind
i never stopped, you know i never stop, you know i always wondered about
it;
i wondered about the wonder.
oh, i wear a rusting crown; i know this dynasty is falling.
the crowd shouts for another round; i see the ruin,
the spectacular, diamonds buried, icebergs, the minarets, and market-places
and signal fires of my invisible empire.
oh, how long? oh, how long? oh, how long?
