An Empire on Fire
My mind has become a tomb where my hope has laid rest
Full of ghosts and ghouls and everything else I have yet to address
I walk around freely but I swear I'm hardly ever here
I close my eyes and say goodbye as I disappear
I cut through my ribs and pulled back the bone
Searching for parasites I thought had grown
But I looked and all I saw was me
I turned and howled and started to flee
I spit blood from my mouth my skin is rotting off the bone
An empire on fire while I sit and protect my withered throne
Trapped in a corner with my face
It's torn in two
I've tried to stitch it back on, but my stitches just won't do
I cut through my ribs and pulled back the bone
Searching for parasites I thought had grown
But I looked and all I saw was me
I turned and howled and started to flee
Full of ghosts and ghouls and everything else I have yet to address
I walk around freely but I swear I'm hardly ever here
I close my eyes and say goodbye as I disappear
I cut through my ribs and pulled back the bone
Searching for parasites I thought had grown
But I looked and all I saw was me
I turned and howled and started to flee
I spit blood from my mouth my skin is rotting off the bone
An empire on fire while I sit and protect my withered throne
Trapped in a corner with my face
It's torn in two
I've tried to stitch it back on, but my stitches just won't do
I cut through my ribs and pulled back the bone
Searching for parasites I thought had grown
But I looked and all I saw was me
I turned and howled and started to flee
