Second Thoughts - Crown The Empire

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

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, cuz 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

(To find on brighter paths)

Don’t be scared to see the lights go…
