The Promise That Life Can Go on No Matter How Bad Our Losses
Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

On New Year's Eve last December,

I was out on tour playing a show at the Fire in Philadelphia


while you were all alone at home

(the only body occupying our lonely apartment)


I watched the TV through the window from outside the bar

and counted down the seconds to the new year with you

over the phone


But I couldn't kiss you at midnight



I couldn't hold you in my arms


The sound of your voice was weighted,

like the way a branch heavy with snow bows down

before it breaks


Is this still worth putting our lives on hold for?

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 happened because you left   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   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
