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
|
