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
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

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
