I Am a Snail, and You Are a Pace I Cannot Match-Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

[00:00.000]The long days piled into weeks before you'd speak [00:09.679]As the storm crawled to meet the shoreline [00:16.314]And it began to rain at once [00:20.076]I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried [00:27.468]To keep the awful things at bay from you [00:33.529]But it was on the air and useless, I [00:40.268]Might as well have tried to prove the words [00:45.649]I fought to purchase would comfort you [00:51.840]Like, "there was nothing more that we could do" [01:03.674]Or that I still loved you [01:09.996]When nothing could be further from the truth [01:19.217]Will your hand fall out of mine? [01:48.787]Your shame lives on its own [01:53.788]Trying to reach the depths down where it belongs [02:01.274]Will it find rest in your bones? [02:05.819]Aching and pulling muscles to act out against you, so [02:16.373]Stay your pity now [02:20.709]If it reaches the heart, we all pull out [02:28.232]And let the beat slow down [02:32.673]There's nothing that we can do for you now [02:39.517]Are you sorry, or are you just scared? [02:45.342]There will be no false comfort here [02:51.037]Oh, I ought to tell you the truth! [02:57.489]I did not come to plea for you [03:02.766]Where was your heart when your words led the truth [03:10.394]Anywhere else from you? [03:15.383]You're not sorry, you are just scared [03:21.313]I have not come to calm your fears [04:15.308]l am sorry I hid what you are [04:22.126]But everyone else but me [04:26.802]Already knew! Already knew! [04:33.359]And would not come to plea for you [04:38.975]Where was your heart when they never appeared? [04:46.316]Anyone else would care [04:50.704]But you would not shoulder the weight you should bear [04:57.287]I will not shed a single tear
