My Heart Is An Empire Lyrics

Did you hear that?
There's a sound that they whisper
I can't quite make it out
But I keep trying
Until you stop reminding that it was ever there

I've been wading
Through the sound that your voice makes
That keeps me in this place
Took me an entire
A paralyzed reminder
But were you ever there?

The elements are sleeping
And these memories are for keeping
While the world awaits,
It's burning to the ground

Chorus:
No one can really save us now
And I don't care; I won't back down
So when you see my face behind a smoking gun
Tonight, bear the empire of my heart
Fear the day you fall apart
So mark my words:
You've yet to taste your day in pain

I'm through hating
We can learn from disaster
When you say open far
My heart is an empire
And you keep it alive by keeping me in pain

The elements are sleeping
And these memories are for keeping
While the world awaits,
it's burning to the ground

Chorus
