Broken Home - Empire Cast, Alexandra Grey

One, two, three, and I’m staring at the rubble

Settled dust at the footsteps of our castle

Set in stone, the words that went unspoken, yeah

Put my hand on my chest, the chain on my neck

Is broken

These holy walls are laying at our feet

I guess they ought to fall eventually

Now shatter the glasses, we stay with our lips

Set off the matches to burn every brick

Please, oh, please, I know that sticks and stones

Can’t build a broken home

The clock, it ticks and I’m cleaning up the remains

Gritted teeth as I’m picking up the photo frames

Candles burning and it’s such a shame

Just minutes ago I was clear in my though

Now everything’s gone up in flames

These holy walls are laying at our feet (ooh, no, no)

I guess they ought to fall eventually

Now shatter the glasses, we stay with our lips

Set off the matches to burn every brick

Please, oh, please, I know that sticks and stones

Can’t build a broken home

Brick by brick, it crumbles apart

A smokey cloud hands over my heart

Crashing down this big brown house

Built on broken ground

These holy walls are laying at our feet (ooh-ooh-ooh)

I guess they ought to fall eventually (yeah, yeah)

Now shatter the glasses, we stay with our lips

Set off the matches to burn every brick

Please, oh, please, I know that sticks and stones

Can’t build a broken home
