Enslaved or free
To this empire of me
That I've built for so long
Once I believed
Comfort and security
Was all I'd ever need
All I need
It's hard to leave
This empire of me
This empire of me
That ties me down
When I serve myself
This thing called freedom
Seems so far away
When I keep it simple
In my search for more
It gets a little closer every day
It's hard to leave
This empire of me
This empire of me
That ties me down
So cut the ropes and burn the bridges
Sell your things and get away
Break it down and move it out
Now I stand and watch
My empire burning
Brush the ashes off
Turn around
Don't look back and walk away
Walk away
It's hard to leave
This empire of me
This empire of me
That ties me down
So cut the ropes and burn the bridges
Sell your things and get away
Break it down and move it out... move it out
It's hard to leave
This empire of me
This empire of me
That ties me down
