Crown The Empire Second Thoughts Lyrics

[Verse 1: Andrew Rockhold]
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 could something so important not belong to me?
I can't pretend like I'm the one who's going to change this
But all I know is that our time is running out

[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Rockhold]
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go
[Chorus: Andrew Rockhold]
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

[Verse 2: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Rockhold]
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go [Chorus: Andrew Rockhold]
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

[Bridge: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla]
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!
[Post-Bridge: Andrew Rockhold]
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

[Chorus: Andrew Rockhold]
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
To find on brighter paths

[Outro: Andrew Rockhold]
Don't be scared to see the lights go...
