CROWN THE EMPIRE LYRICS

"Second Thoughts"

I hear the static drawing nearer
There's no way out
I breathe the ice and let the fire die
They keep on feeding me the chemicals I need to breathe
But how can something so important not belong to me?
I can't pretend like I'm the One who's gonna change this
But all I know is that our time is running out

I get so tired lighting fires
When I know we still have so much further left we could go

So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that
There's love for me to find on brighter paths

And out of the dust I see the light creep in
And I know it won't be long
But I'm still terrified
'Cause at least in the dark
No one else can see who you really are

So bring me the sound of your guns
And blame me for all of your wrongs
It seems hate is all I have left
Yeah, it's all I have left
It's the only thing that's left in me

I get so tired lighting fires
When I know we still have so much further left we could go

So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that
There's love for me to find on brighter paths

So when you feel like you're falling under
Holding on to the things you thought you loved
Will you let all the things you've run from
Chew you up and spit you out
This all ends now

I get so tired lighting fires
When I know we still have so much further left we could go
I get so tired lighting fires
When I know we still have so much further left we could go

So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that
There's love for me to find on brighter paths
Don't be scared to see the lights go out
