Empire (2021 version)

(written 2010, this version recorded 2021) one minute you're building an empire next minute you're standing in the rain watching it all fall down your hands are bruised and your eyes are tired and all you want to do is tear it all down and build it higher it don't what you've done or where you've been ain't it funny how it all falls down in the end walking the streets avoiding the street lights ain't it always a little dark outside and you're always alone when the world is falling apart and you're a little far from the start.
