Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) — Girls Will Not Frighten the Frost from the Grave lyrics

Lyrics

every single word i said, i whole-heartedly meant.
nothing was contrived. each sentence was precise.
it all felt new to me.
we all want affection, but there’s worse things than rejection.
like being a number.
who today will you prefer?
it all felt new to me.
how did I not see to you it was routine?
