An Idea Is a Greater Monument Than a Cathedral
Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) Lyrics
will the same mistakes haunt you like they used to do?
or are you afraid that your body won't let you choose?
you are your father's son, and the same disease that holds you held him once!
and i know if you push this hard it will still take hold.
you cannot accept the things you can't control.
and i know your mind is young but your body's old.
and you can't forgive youself (though no one else could blame you for this).
but hold on! hold on! hold on!
and already i can't remember if the heart was ever aware
and tonight, when it realized, you gave up, it cried out,
"only now i realize i always knew."

Will the same mistakes haunt you like they used to do?
Or are you afraid that your body won't let you choose?
You are your father's son
And the same disease that holds you held him once
And I know if you push this hard it will still take hold
You cannot accept the things you can't control
And I know your mind is young but your body's old
And you can't forgive yourself, though no one else could blame you for this
But hold on!
Hold on!
Hold on!
And already I can't remember if the heart was ever aware
That the body it kept alive was wearing out, was shutting down
And tonight, when it realized, you gave up, it cried out
"Only now I realize
I always knew (I always knew), I alwas knew"
"Only now I realize
I always knew (I always knew), I alwas knew"

This is one of those songs that make you reevaluate the quality of the music you've been listening to previously.

This album really takes me back to one of the lowest points in my life but the music really helped me feel not so alone. Something reminded me of it today and I came to re-listen and all those old memories came flooding back, but this time I wasn't drowned by them. Thank you for keeping this posted.

These times in my life were a lot better, but yeah played this album at work a week ago. It was pleasant. Thanks for listening. 100 percent of the ad revenue goes to the band/label still I guess though they broke up sadly.

The unexpected combo of a raidou jack frost and emo music is quite nice actually.
