I Am Empire - Labor lyrics

rate me

Labor is coming for me

It’s coming for all of my daylight

I’ll savor the best of my friends, my lady

Her kiss in the moonlight

I worked hard to save up my pay

But God did not say He was able

To give me the life I deserve

The comfort of knowing I’m stable

I can’t relate to that promise you made

‘Cause I’m tired and barely awake

No, I can’t believe in that dream of relief

‘Cause I’m tired and always afraid

To live my life without You

Give me whatever I need

To keep my head above water

‘Cause it’s rising up like a flood

The danger of death is resounding

Then you came down from the clouds

Lifted me up like a feather

Told me the worst of your days

Are sinking away with an anchor

I can’t relate to that promise you made

‘Cause I’m tired and barely awake

No, I can’t believe in that dream of relief

‘Cause I’m tired and always afraid

To live my life without You

Everyday I sit and wonder why

I waste my time for a nickel and a dime

Everyday I say why, everyday

I can’t relate to that promise you made

‘Cause I’m tired and barely awake

No, I can’t believe in that dream of relief

‘Cause I’m tired and always afraid

I can’t relate to that promise you made

‘Cause I’m tired and barely awake

No, I can’t believe in that dream of relief

‘Cause I’m tired and always afraid

To live my life without You
