Empire Empire I Was A Lonely Estate - I Am A Snail And You Are A Pace I Cannot Match Lyrics

The long days piled into weeks before you'd speak
As the storm crawled to meet the shoreline
And it began to rain at once!

I tried (I tried, I tried, I tried) to keep the awful things at bay from you

But it was on the air and useless
I might as well have tried to prove the words I fought to purchase would comfort you

Like, "there was nothing more that we could do."
Or that I still loved you (when nothing could be further from the truth)

Will your hand fall out of mine?
Your shame lives on its own, trying to reach the depths down where it belongs
Will it find rest in your bones?
Aching and pulling muscles to act out against you!
So stay your pity now
If it reaches the heart, we all pull out
And let the beat slow down (there's nothing that we can do you for now)

Are you sorry or are you just scared?
There will be no false comfort here

Oh, I ought to tell you the truth! I did not come to plea for you
Where was your heart when your words led the truth anywhere else from you?
You're not sorry, you are just scared
I have not come to calm your fears
I am sorry I hid what you are
But everyone else but me already knew! Already knew!
And would not come to plea for you
Where was your heart when they never appeared?
Anyone else would care
But you would not shoulder the weight you should bear.
I will not shed a single tear
