lyrics

Take my crown
I’ve crossed the line, left vacant
Passion’s throne
Ill-fated, overgrown
Charmed by death
The prophet swore he’d save me

Now I’ve got something to say

We left it all behind
Draw deep the breath we can’t deny
We’ve all got something to hide
Choke down a breath as we deny
This is the breaking point.

If we had time
If we had time
Life in the empire’s taken its toll
So blind my eyes
I'll pay your price
And wash away my…

Tear me down
Ignore the signs I’m vacant
So, I’m free
There’s nothing left of me
Pray to death
And maybe she’ll remake me

Now I’ve got something to say

We left it all behind
Draw deep the breath we can’t deny
We’ve all got something to hide
Choke down a breath as we deny

This is the breaking point.

If we had time
If we had time
Life in the empire’s taken its toll
So blind my eyes
I'll pay your price
And wash away my…

My love, my hate, my heart, my soul
(The fear takes hold)
Would time erase this broken home?
(It takes its toll)
(It takes its toll)

Always waiting,
Searching for the sound
Hope was fading
Here, still, wishing we'd be found
The lie to keep us whole
The lives we never sold
The lie to keep control

We left it all behind
Draw deep the breath we can’t deny
We’ve all got something to hide
Choke down a breath as we deny
This is the breaking point.

If we had time
If we had time
Life in the empire’s taken its toll
So blind my eyes
I'll pay your price
And wash away my…

My love, my hate, my heart, my soul
(The fear takes hold)
Would time erase this broken home?
(It takes its toll)
(It takes its toll)
