Labor - I Am Empire

Labor is coming for me

It’s coming for all of my daylight

I’ll savor the best of my friends

My lady, her kiss in the moonlight

I worked hard to save up my pay

But God did not say He was able

To give me the life I deserve

The comfort of knowing I’m stable

I can’t relate to that promise You made

Cause I’m tired and barely awake

No I can’t believe in that dream of relief

Cause I’m tired and always afraid

To live my life without You

Give me whatever I need

To keep my old head above water

Cause it’s rising up like a flood

The danger of death is resounding

Then You came down from the clouds

Lifted me up like a feather

Told me the worst of your days are sinking away with an anchor

I can’t relate to that promise You made

Cause I’m tired and barely awake

No I can’t believe in that dream of relief

Cause I’m tired and always afraid

To live my life without You

Everyday I sit and wonder why

I waste my time for a nickel and a dime

Everyday I sit and wonder why

Everyday

I can’t relate to that promise You made

Cause I’m tired and barely awake

No I can’t believe in that dream of relief

Cause I’m tired and always afraid

I can’t relate to that promise You made

Cause I’m tired and barely awake

No I can’t believe in that dream of relief

Cause I’m tired and always afraid

To live my life without You
