Lyrics
My Empyre (When it doesn't work anymore)
©2013 AJ Crawshaw
Verse 1
When it doesn’t work anymore
When your feet hit the ground floor
Do you stay or walk out the door
When it doesn’t work anymore
I need some sweet release
Don’t go I’m begging please
Oh I’m on top of my pyre
Oh the flames burn higher
And I hate what I’ve become and I feel numb
So I set me on fire
Go on and stare through the pane
I’ll be broken but seem sane
Do you stay or refrain
To me it feels just the same
I need some sweet release
Don’t go I’m begging please
Oh I’m on top of my pyre
Oh the flames burn higher
And I hate what I’ve become and I feel numb
So I set me on fire
Don’t look back or you’ll turn to sand
