This empire of silence sways in the wind
Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me
Look in the mirror, tell me what you see
A cause for the cancer or a remedy?
[Verse]
Every rung beneath my feet
The weight will bare on shoulders build to lean
The strength inside a seed
We're all alone
If I learn from our deceits
Let the water guide us to the sea
For all our wounds to heal
We're all alone
[Chorus]
We're building walls
Where there should have been bridges
Borders in the land that we roam
We pray for war like it's a fucking religion
When greed is all we know
[Verse]
Conditioned innocent with loves intention
Confused together, realize we're all the same
[Pre-Chorus]
This empire of silence sways in the wind
Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me
Look in the mirror, tell me what you see
A cause for the cancer or a remedy?
Pull out the knife that you've earned
[Bridge]
This world's a loss to an age of a self loving race
With no desire to change
Emergency positions please, reprieve humanity
[Chorus]
We're building walls
Where there should have been bridges
Borders in the land that we roam
We pray for war like it's a fucking religion
When greed is all we know
We won't give up on the truth
We won't give in to their rules
We're not afraid of a world corrupted
We won't give up on you
[Pre-Chorus] This empire of silence sways in the wind Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me Look in the mirror, tell me what you see A cause for the cancer or a remedy? [Verse] Every rung beneath my feet The weight will bare on shoulders build to lean The strength inside a seed We're all alone If I learn from our deceits Let the water guide us to the sea For all our wounds to heal We're all alone [Chorus] We're building walls Where there should have been bridges Borders in the land that we roam We pray for war like it's a fucking religion When greed is all we know [Verse] Conditioned innocent with loves intention Confused together, realize we're all the same [Pre-Chorus] This empire of silence sways in the wind Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me Look in the mirror, tell me what you see A cause for the cancer or a remedy?
