Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall
I thought the candle was gonna go out
The wind was blowing and the door was open
But the candle never (1)________ out
Never went out
The wave (2)__________ 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
(Oh oh) I wanna burn this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
I know the gamble never works twice
All the distractions of the table
And the weighted dice
But the thrill of it feels so nice
You’d do it all again
But I (3)________ to the chips and lose
I’m (4)________________ on the platform
With my neck in the noose
And I know it’s not my time
It’s not my time
(Oh oh) I wanna burn this house
I know, I (5)__________ (6)________ into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
And if I do all the things I do
Well, I tell myself that I’m staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll (7)__________ 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
You know it never stopped
You know it never stopped
You know I always wondered about it
I wondered about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a rusting crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The crowd shouts for another round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The signal (8)__________ of my invisible empire
