it happened because you left
Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

in fall, the year you grew to be six feetnni tempered my fear in to haste,nna worry that dogged our mother.nnshe, the baby of three, asked hownnso many things could take flight at once.nnthere are no easy answers, and even at thirteen, inncould not think of a sure reply.nnat the church where i was baptized,nnour father refused to park neat the crowdnnat that time, i still believed in god, or faeries;nnor that the air could catch on fire.nnwhen you and your friends took off on seperate routes,nni wanted to follow you.nnbut our mother said i was not allowed to.nnyou had not yet learned how to fill such a broad frame.nnthat winter you said you hated your body,nnbut when spring came, you learned how to speak,nnand you moved out westnnto watch the ocean eat the coast away.nnnni can still remember that day you left,nnthoughts spilling out from my chest,nnlike who will you be when you come backnnor even, will you come back?

Lyrics by Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

  A Keepsake   an idea is a greater monument than a cathedral   Documenting Thirty Days   Everything Familiar Has Disappeared! The World Loo...   everything is connected and everything matters   Everything Rests On Your Small Shoulders   Foxfire   how to make love stay   How to Stay Afloat on a Sea of Change   i am a snail, and you are a pace i cannot match   I knew this because as i drove...   I Swim Like a Minnow   I Was Somewhere Cold, Dark... and Lonely   I Would Have Stolen You a Whole Orchestra   idk, My Bff Jill   If It's Bad News, It Can Wait   It Was Your Heart That Saved You   It’s a fate we can’t escape. Someda...   k.o. k.o. (the most of my worries are the least of   keep what you have built up here   Lilly, I Have Something Important to tell you   Our Love Has Made Us Pariahs   rally the troops! poke holes in their defenses!   Rally the Troops! Poke Holes in Their Defenses! Li...   The Loneliness Inside Me Is a Place   the next step to regaining control   The Only One Who Could Ever Reach You   The Promise That Life Can Go on No Matter How Bad ...   They Will Throw Us To The Wolves   Things Not Worth Fixing   Water   We Were Not Small or Great but Grown   What Had Taken Years To Put Together Was Destroyed...   what safe means   When You Are Done Living On Borrowed Time   with your greatest fears realized, you will not be   Year Of The Rabbit   You Have to Be so Much Better Than You Ever Though...   You Have To Believe That Life Is More Than The Su
