Second Thoughts

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 can something

So important not belong to me

I can't pretend like I'm the

One who's gonna 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

'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

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

Find on brighter paths

Don't be scared to see the lights go out
