Nobody's Empire - Belle

Nobody's Empire LRC歌词

[00:35]Lying on my bed, I was reading French

[00:38]With the light too bright for my senses

[00:43]From this hiding place life was way too much

[00:47]It was loud and rough round the edges

[00:51]So I faced the wall when an old man called

[00:55]Out of dreams that I would die there

[00:58]But a sight unseen, you were pulling strings

[01:03]You had a different idea

[01:07]I was like a child, I was lying strong

[01:10]And my father lifted me up there

[01:14]Took me to a place where they checked my body

[01:18]My soul was floating in thin-air

[01:22]I clung to the bed and I clung to the past

[01:26]I clung to the welcome darkness

[01:29]But at the end of the night there's a green green light

[01:34]The quiet before the madness

[01:37]There was a girl that sang like the chime of a bell

[01:41]And she put out her arm, she touched me when I was in hell

[01:48]When I was in hell

[01:53]Someone sang a song and I sang along

[01:57]Cause I knew the words from my childhood

[02:01]Intellect ambition they fell away

[02:04]And they locked me up for my own good

[02:08]But I didn't mind, cause the silence was kind

[02:12]It spoke to me in whispers

[02:16]There was the sound of the wind and the cold cold dawn

[02:19]And the quiet hum of business

[02:23]Let me dangle awhile in this waiting room

[02:27]I don't need to go I don't need to know what you're doing

[02:35]Know what you're doing

[03:10]Lying on my side you were half awake

[03:13]And your face was tired and crumpled

[03:18]If I had a camera I'd snap you now

[03:21]Cause there's beauty in every stumble

[03:25]We are out of practice we're out of sight

[03:29]On the edge of nobody's empire

[03:33]And if we live by books and we live by hope

[03:37]Does that make us targets for gunfire?

[03:41]Now I look at you, you're a mother of two

[03:45]You're a quiet revolution

[03:49]Marching with the crowd, singing dirty and loud

[03:53]For the people's emancipation

[03:56]Did I do okay, did I pave the way?

[04:01]Was I strong when you were wanting?

[04:04]I was tied to the yoke with a decent bloke

[04:08]Who was stern but never daunting

[04:12]And he told me to push and he made me feel well

[04:16]He told to me to leave that vision of hell to the dying

[04:23]Oh to the dying
