lyrics

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 would assemble my own empire
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 burned my own empire down
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
I'm trippin' over everything I see

I burned my own empire down
I burned my own empire down
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 burned my own empire down
I burned my own empire down
I burned my own empire down
I burned my own empire down
I burned my own empire down
I burned my own empire down
I burned my own empire down
Down!
Down!
Down!
