Lyrics
How To Build A Empire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The path that we've made... We'll not be afraid to say what we know.
We will not let... go!
Don't hold your breath, find a way out.
Don't hold your breath just find your way out.
I'll watch your collapse. You'll try to fight back but you're fallin through the floor. Gasp for air.
And they say we'll never make it out alive. But at least we'll try (I'll let you know, let you go. I don't know where I'm going.)
As long as you're not afraid to just run, run... Save yourself.
You will never be the same. So watch me, watch me... Grow.
You think you know the way? But the way that I'm coming is the way that you're leaving.
Oh, you're pushing you're pressing now. These words that you're saying, they fall from your lips and I'm not even listening.
We've wasted so much time, pretending that you cared. Please let me go... Where you belong.
They say we'll never make it out alive, but at least we'll try. (I'll let you know, let you go. I don't know where I'm going)
As long as you're not afraid to just run, run... Save yourself.
There's got to be a reason, your last words.
There's got to be a reason, they weren't heard.
You may not like to hear this but you're coming to an end.
You may not like to hear this but you're coming to an end.
