Things Not Worth Fixing
Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

After graduating from college,

I moved back home to my parents' house in Fenton


(It would be the first of three more separate stints)


My brother helped get me a part-time job

peddling paint at Sherwin-Williams


The idea was to stay for a year and save up

and plan for our wedding


All of our friends had already moved away

or were still off at school


So it felt like a ghost town


or defeat


I was not a model employee


I was frequently late and felt my education made me overqualified

and that the job was far beneath me


I reeked of youth! I thought the world was owed me!


Each morning, contractors would pour in like vultures on carrion

and pick the store clean

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   The Promise That Life Can Go on No Matter How Bad ...   They Will Throw Us To The Wolves   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
