KT Tunstall - Invisible Empire

KT Tunstall - Invisible Empire

I thought the candle was gonna go out
The wind was blowing and the door was open
But the candle never went out, never went out

The wave found its way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
But the wave found its way all the way to the shore

Woah, I wanna burn this house
I know I wanna jump into the fire
Oh, oh I’m gonna tear them down
Pinnacles of my invisible empire

I know the gamble never works twice
All the distractions at the table and the weighted dice
But the thrill of it feels so nice, you do it all again

But I look to the chips I lose,
Standing on the platform with my neck in the noose
And I know its not my time, not my time

Woah, I wanna burn this house
I know I wanna jump into the fire
Oh, oh I’m gonna tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

And if I do, all the things I do
While I tell myself that I’m staying true
I’ll never stop, you know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll never think about it
Put an end to all this time, that I would spend with it on my mind
I never stopped, you know I never stopped
You know I always wondered about it
I wondered about the wonder

Woah oh oh, I wear a rusting crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The crowd shouts for another round
To see the ruin, the spectacular, diamonds baby
Icebergs, the minarets and the marketplaces
The signal fires of my invisible empire
