love; it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you, it will set you free, be more like the man you were meant to be // i know it’s warmer where you are and it’s safer by your side, but right now i can’t be what you want, just give it some time // honey you’re familiar like my mirror years ago, idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword, innocence died screaming, honey ask me i should know, i slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door // go row the boat to safer ground, but don’t you know we’re stronger now // all of your flaws and all of my flaws, they lie there hand in hand, ones we’ve inherited, ones that we learn, they pass from man to man // although you love me, sometimes we’re mean, things can get ugly but we’re still a team, we are an army that breaks from within, but that’s why we’re stronger, and that’s how we’ll win // the world is coming down on me and i can’t find a reason to be loved, i never wanna leave you but i can’t make you bleed if i’m alone // who’s gonna take my hand, show me the way? how long will i have to wait for someday? // empires rise, empires fall, we live or die to take the throne.
