Girlyman - Empire of Our State lyrics

rate me

Hey, I guess I never really ever could say

That I saw it coming

But when you push a feeling far away

Still your body's humming

And I held it in

Long as I could then

But now all that's changing

So, I guess you never truly ever can know

Where on earth you're heading

You just barrel on down that road

Til that road starts bending

Here we are again

Not a bitter end

But the end of something

Hey, I'm gonna whisper these words right into your sleeve

Gonna open up a portal from you back to me

Gonna take it all the way from the back of our bay

To the top of the empire of our state

Well, I guess I know a thing or two about hell

It's when you lose your fire

You go back to the same old well

Without the same desire

I've been treading earth

From the time of birth

You can't stop this turning

Hey, I'm gonna whisper these words right into your sleeve

Gonna open up a portal from you back to me

Gonna take it all the way from the back of our bay

To the top of the empire of our state

So gee, I guess anyone could've been me

Staring at my reflection

Wanting just a little bit of relief

From my self-deception

There's no more I can run

This is how it's done

You just start all over

Hey, I'm gonna whisper these words right into your sleeve

Gonna open up a portal from you back to me

Gonna take it all the way from the back of our bay

To the top of the empire of our state
