With Your Greatest Fears Realized, You Will Not Be Comforted

Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

You wore a hand-me-down dress that never fit quite right
Your mother's frame did not favor you

The summer she passed you were born, and you father lost his job
He could not handle it (or you)

You wore the saddest smile that never fit quite right
Your mother's smile felt that way too

The summer she gave her life for you, and your father blamed you
Was the summer you began to blame yourself too
