Bullets and Octane

My Heart is an Empire

Bullets and Octane


Did you hear that? 
There's a sound that they whisper 
I can't quite make it out 
But I keep trying 
Until you stop reminding that it was ever there 

I've been wading 
Through the sound that your voice makes 
That keeps me in this place 
Took me an entire 
A paralyzed reminder 
But were you ever there? 

The elements are sleeping 
And these memories are for keeping 
While the world awaits, 
It's burning to the ground 

Chorus: 
No one can really save us now 
And I don't care; I won't back down 
So when you see my face behind a smoking gun 
Tonight, bear the empire of my heart 
Fear the day you fall apart 
So mark my words: 
You've yet to taste your day in pain 

I'm through hating 
We can learn from disaster 
When you say open far 
My heart is an empire 
And you keep it alive by keeping me in pain 

The elements are sleeping 
And these memories are for keeping 
While the world awaits, 
it's burning to the ground
