The Horror of Riovanes by Empire! Empire! (I was A Lonely Estate) Lyrics

You spoke with a nervous tick that betrayed control
I know
I counted the times you touched your fingers to your throat
Seventeen

That night, at Sara Holden's going away party
You were as pale as a ghost
Ivory white

I think it weighed on you that you weren't leaving
Or maybe, how you were so afraid that you would never go

And I know you will carry all this weight home
When all of your fears came true
So you will carry all this weight home
When all of your fears came true
You will carry all this weight home
When all of your fears came true
You will carry all this weight home
When all of your fears
I know you will carry all this weight home
When all of your fears came true
You will carry all this weight home
With all of your fears
