CROWN THE EMPIRE LYRICS

1. The Glass Elevator (Walls)

Break down your walls tonight,
we're here to sing for you;
Tear down your walls tonight,
we're here to scream for you.
[2x]

Cold as ice on the darkest December
Spark a flame from a small burning ember
Trapped inside of this prison made of mirrors

As I wait for that spark to ignite me
Try to break through these walls that surround me
I'm trapped inside of this prison made of mirrors

I look to the sky
But my walls keep building higher
I'm surrounded by creations,I
Need to feel alive

I look to the sky
But the answers all around me
Oh I don't know why I have to try
To take hold of my life,

The worst part of all
Is I'm the one who holds the key
Prison of my mind
Only purpose sets me free

And I have no purpose at all
I'm floating and hoping
For something to come break my fall
I've lost my mind
I've lost it all

Now repeat after me...

I walk
I breathe
I live
A lie
[4x]

2. Breaking Point

It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all

Explore the world we must
Time's just to short for the best of us
Before death comes

I will be
There for you
Even through
Thick and Thin
I will never fall
When hope is lost

And now I see
The hour hand moving faster and faster
Our time is running out
Move quick or never remember
Open your eyes and you'll see

It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all

Explore the world we must
Time's just to short for the best of us
Before death comes

Take me away
Away from here
Because everyday
Is turning into years
With every moment
I feel deeper and deeper
My heart's a sinking ship

And now I see
The hour hand moving faster and faster
Our time is running out
Move quick or never remember
Open your eyes and you'll see

It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all

Explore the world we must
Time's just to short for the best of us
Before death comes

Life's just too short to go and throw it away
It's all we have let's make the best of today

And now I see
The hour hand moving faster and faster

It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all

Explore the world we must
Time's just to short even for the best of us
Before death comes

3. Wake Me Up

This world keeps pushing down upon me,
And I keep hoping for a sweet dream.

There's something left for me to see,
There's something left for me to be.

We can't ponder on this, world forever.
You know we can save it, if together
Growing, day by day to make it,
but my time's been wasted.

And while my eyes are open wide, I'm sound asleep on the inside,

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends.
Haunting me, Haunting me till my bitter end.
Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live.
Something inside of me keeps on giving in.

Well I keep searching for an answer,
But time will never tell, and you will never know.
My choices are my own, but I can't choose where I call home.
This life isn't carved in stone, this life has left me on my own.

And while my eyes are open wide, I'm sound asleep on the inside,

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends.
Haunting me, Haunting me till my bitter end.
Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live.
Something inside of me keeps on giving in.

WAKE ME UP!

I'm wide awake,
I'm not afraid anymore,
I'm wide awake
It's you who helped me win this war.

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends.
Haunting me, Haunting me till my bitter end.
Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live.
Something inside of me keeps on giving in.

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends.
Haunting me, Haunting me till my bitter end.
Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live.
Something inside of me keeps on giving in.

4. Johnny Ringo

This is your time,
Your life's flashing before your eyes.
And soon enough you will realize that this is goodbye,
But what if I gave you a chance?
You just have to sell your soul.

Look around, what do you see?
The choices you never had the guts to make?
I'm sorry you never could be the man that you wanted,
But regret is wasted on me.

I can feel air inside my lungs again.
All because of you.
I can rebuild my life and start again.
All because of you.

This feeling's amazing, I know.
But be careful, you know not what you wish for.
Granted life again but now you've cheated death.
There's no where to run when you run from yourself.

But fear not for as long as you live you are mine,
And even in death you will find.
You've lived with regret for so long but now,
Is your chance to change what has been wrong.

I can feel air inside my lungs again.
All because of you.
I can rebuild my life and start again.
All because of you.

And I know that my destiny wasn't written in the stars,
It was just a part of satellites and it's all because of you.
Yeah, it's all because of you.

Don't ever trust the devil, bitch!

I never wanted this.
(It's time that you suffered the consequence.)
I should have know my time was up.
(I gave you your time, and now your soul is mine.)

I can't feel air inside my lungs.
I'm dead.
All because of...

YOU!

All because of you!

I can't feel air inside my lungs, I'm dead!
All because of you!
I can't rebuild my life and start again,
All because of you!

All because of you!
All because of...

5. Voices

The voices inside my head are taking over
They're telling me that my life is in danger
I'm scared that the silence won't come back forever
I believe this is my darkest hour

I pray
Over and over again
That this won't be my end
I still have a long life to live
I'm begging you, begging you

I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already to late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

It's just to much to handle
I feel myself turn into stone
Desperate, as the voices linger
There's nothing left for me, please save my soul

I'm running out of time
I can feel the words crawling down my spine
I'm running out of time

(I can't remember the last time)

I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already to late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

Take my hand
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me die today

Take my hand
I'll pray for you today
I beg to see another day
Don't let me die today

Take my hand
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me die today

Take my hand
I'll pray for you today
I beg to see another day
Don't let me die today, die today

I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already to late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

6. Limitless

[feat. Dennis Shaforostov]

This song goes out to everyone whose felt broken
Who searched for the answer and was left in the dark
this is for you

STAND UP!

OH!

I will never be afraid, you shot me once,
I'm still standing
I will never dig my grave,
you shot me once,
I'm still standing;

And every part of me keeps screaming,
"Get on with your life, and start by leaving."
I'm trying to heal these wounds but I'm still bleeding
(I'm trying to heal these wounds but I'm still bleeding)

I've run out of all that I was
(all, I, was)
I've searched for the meaning and ended up lost,
but I see the light at the end of the road,
and it's guiding me,
(and it's guiding me)
guiding me home
(guiding me home)

I know, I no longer must walk through this world alone;
We must resist to be a part of their insolence;
We must start the resistance;
Follow no one;
I've run out of all that I was,
and I'm searchin' for the meaning and ended up lost;
But I see light at the end of the road,
it's guiding me home where I'll heal all
that has left me bleeding,
while their words still burn,
these scars are another lesson learned;

You live your life so disconnected
as you sit there mighty in your fucking little throne;
I'll see to it that all your walls crumble;
I'll tear it down stone by stone;

Bow down! I will not kneel before you!
Bow down! You're never gonna wear my crown!

You shot me once, but I'm still here!
You shot me once, but I'm still here!

This is for those who've seen the light,
we must rise, we're limitless tonight!
And though the sun may never shine, we must know,
we're limitless tonight!

This is for those who've seen the light,
we must rise, we're limitless tonight!
And though the sun may never shine, we must know,
we're limitless tonight!
We're limitless tonight!

It's time for destruction.

7. Lead Me Out Of The Dark

It's not quite a mystery.
I'm the one who's insecure,
you're the one that makes believe,
that we're all okay, we're doing fine,
when we're both fighting just to stay,
to stay alive,
a fragile state of mind,
that I can't quite survive.

Without a doubt, I need your help.
I know you've heard me ask before,
but come on girl, I need to tell you now,
I know what I've done wrong.

The only way out of here is the way I've avoided for all my life.
There's so many things I wanna say,
but there's too many things still in the way.
I'm lost, please help me find my place.
You're the only one, please lead me out of the dark.
Please lead me out of the dark.
Please lead me out of the dark.

I'm moving on, I'll promise change,
if you will let me in again, I swear today,
I'll be a better man.
I'll be who I was then.

It's been a long two years,
I can't change the past,
I've shed so many tears,
Can't believe I've lasted this long.
I see now that I'm wrong.

The only way out of here is the way I've avoided for all my life.
There's so many things I wanna say,
but there's too many things still in the way.
I'm lost, please help me find my place.
You're the only one, please lead me out of the dark.
Please lead me out of the dark.
