The Emperor

Can you turn it off?
Can you keep it hidden?
Soft edge glow of the closet door
Throwing off my rhythm

Can you turn it off?
I don't need to hear this
Faces shaved in the lining of my skull
In an instant

Leaving me to rot

Never listen to this
Need you to promise me, baby
I've seen what can't be unseen
Seemingly

This is not an untold story
You've heard it a thousand times
You measure everything in ratios to it
But you've never read a line
You're home for the first time

Yeah, breathing in the sunshine
Stealing from the day
Sleeping through the night with a smile on your face
Cry into the camera
Burning all the tapes
Do what you do for no one else, be unafraid

Raise a storm inside my tent and wonder when the sun comes up
Scream my name and pump my chest and mean it when I do
Everything seems easy when you're up so high and late
You're gonna make, gonna find, gonna sing, gonna form
A soaring song
Turn it off
Keep it quiet

Off
I don't need to hear this
Faces shaved in the lining of my skull
In an instant
Leaving me to rot
In a tactical position
It's a game
An escape
And I shouldn't have been playing

Clouds in the distance taking on their new form
Assembling, darkening
Before I even set foot out the door
And turn it off
I need you to promise
Can you turn it off?
Oh, can you turn it off?
Can you turn it off?
