He comes around 'cause you love him madly
And he leaves his heart outside the door
He's gone again when you need him badly
All you want is a little more
He's twisted your heart out
Your chest is aching; you can't even find your breath
But what good is love when
It's slowly dying a sad and painful death?
So, come on, dear
If you're not happy here
You don't have to stay
Embrace the love that's all around you
And walk away
I know he's told you he can't live without you
But he leaves you there to live alone
You can't have love when it's not open
When you don't feel it in every bone
So, come on, dear
If you're not happy here
You don't have to stay
Embrace the love that's all around you
And walk away
So a shadow consumes you
And light is deflected off your body and off your soul
If he really cares for you
He will let go of you and give you back the love he stole
So, come on, dear
If you're not happy here
You don't have to stay
Embrace the love that's all around you
And walk away

Empire [Live]

If I could look at all the things I've left in the past
Stack each brick that held any mass
Ball up every pillow case
That I cried into when I was out of place
I would assemble my own empire
I've seen my flag waving high
Nearly in the sky
Nearly in the way of my sight
It's burnin' bright
I burned my own empire down
I couldn't see myself too clear
Looked in the eyes of a broken mirror
Nothin' came back at me
Trippin' over everything I see
I burned my own empire down
I wonder how I will die
I wonder if you'll cry
Maybe you'll be gone as well
Trippin' over everything we fell
I burned my own empire down

I am lost
It's a building in the forest
I am lost
Ever wanna die
But you scared that your mama would cry
It's peaceful like a building
And you don't know why
I've got tricks up my sleeve
And wild web to weave
In a place where I believe
Everything is good
Everything is good
I'm alive
It's a tightrope in the sky
I'm a lie
Ever wanna drink
Cause it doesn't let you think
It's peaceful like a line in the sky
But I've got tricks up my sleeve
And wild web to weave
In a place where I believe
Everything is good
Everything is good
I was in a dream
And my ghost was there
Near a river, some river unknown
I looked into the dark
I saw a single meadowlark
And every chill escaped from every bone
But I've got tricks up my sleeve
And wild web to weave
In a place where I believe
Everything is good
Everything is good
Everyone is good
Everyone is good

Lonely [Live]

I could give the world every piece of myself
Clean up every shelf
I would dust every corner
I could bleed every apology
Into a river that leads to the sea
And turns to rain
But that would be lonely
The rain is always lonely
And the sky is grey
And the world is passing away
Lonely, don't want to die lonely
A child might be a gift to me
