lyrics

Empire of Yourself

You've built a palace out of mirrors,
no room for anything else,
you take all the love that they give you
and you build an empire of yourself

Nothing can stop me on my mission,
I'm sorry if you're in my way.
Do know that I tried,
but it just doesn't matter –
I've got bigger and brighter things to make.

You carry heavy burdens on your shoulder,
the world is watching your every move,
respect and applause is important –
they need to acknowledge what you do

I'm young and its my time to make it,
it has to happen now can't you see?
One day you'll thank me for my courage,
I need to become who it is that I have to be.

You've built a palace out of mirrors,
no room for anything else,
you take all the love that they give you
and you build and empire of yourself

Nothing can stop him on his mission,
He's sorry if you're in his way.
Do know that he tried,
but it just doesn't matter –
he's got bigger and brighter things to make.

(Outro)
