I long for your marquee eyes, they're all I prefer to see
Tear gas settles under the morning sun, so I hide myself in my dreams
The fountain from which we all drink is dried up and headed straight for hell
Toss a few cents in while a fever descends and pretend we're all wishing it well
Like bullets flying through the hallways I'm merely an afterthought
I can’t stand all this talk about the good old days, when maybe we should all be alarmed
I pull up my boots as I run from the news while the hypocrites speak in tongues
Blood on the streets while the monuments sleep, I believe we're all pushing our luck
I've grown so weary and I imagine that you have too
I see all of these strange faces
Dressed up in the red, white, and blue
They're storming the walls while the empire falls
And all I can think of is you
I heard frailty in a madman's voice, pouring salt in open wounds
I lit a candle in a broken room, the low light looks good on you
He's screaming with rage, while the lunatics wave, and that damned ol' freedom won't ring
If you raise your sword, well you'd better be sure, cause you know I won’t kneel for the king
Throw your arms around me, we're long overdue
I hear all these empty phrases
And not a single one telling the truth
They're storming the walls while the empire falls
And all I can think of is you
