Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) - Some Doors Aren’t Locked. They Open Without a Key

Long after the lure of home was lost,
we were holed up in our room
(in the guest room of my parent's house
that was once my bedroom)

We had spent so much time waiting
and wanting to come home,
that when we came back, we came without purpose

or it was all spent up

Then, home was a concrete reminder
of how little we had actually done with our lives
or of how barren a future can look without purpose

These are the moments that define you:

How long the night before it's dawn?

How long the hours?

We were down, but not out
We held our heads up high

Our hearts were ripe with hope
