The Word Alive
"How To Build An Empire"

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 falling 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
