Crown The Empire - Retrograde Lyrics

Walk with me tonight
Walk with me tonight
To find what's after life

Are You Coming With Me?
We know now that in the early years of the twentieth century,
this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own
Did I find the blood inside my bones
Reaching out into the great unknown
What a life, what a f*cked up love we hold
Polarized by what we can't control
We have the chance to realize
Are we the stars, or just the sky?
We have the chance to find our eyes
So are you coming with me?
I'll go, whoa, hey hey hey
I'll go, whoa, hey hey hey
When you find the dust behind the sun
You're alive, but so misunderstood
We're so afraid to change our minds
Are we the shark or just the prize
No I'm not afraid to open wide
So are you coming with me?
I'll go, whoa, hey hey hey
I'll go, whoa, hey hey hey
Climb the sky or cauterize (or cauterize)
Golden eyes are better blind (are better blind)
I don't know what I'm meant to see, meant to see
So I'll just hold my breath, and wait for gravity
We don't know what we're meant to see, meant to see
So we'll just hold our breath
We don't know what we're meant to see, meant to see
So we'll just hold our breath
So we'll just hold our breath
Now are you coming with me?
I'll go, whoa, okay
I'll go, whoa
Climb the sky or cauterize (or cauterize)
Golden eyes are better blind (are better blind)
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
Hey hey hey
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
Now are you coming with me?
With me

Zero
I'm breaking static, I'm changing my frequency
If I don't speak out, then no one's listening
But I won't live in vain, in vain
We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We're dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say
Zero, zero
We're breaking static, just radio frequencies
If we don't speak out, then there's no one listening
Is anyone listening to me?
We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We're dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say...
We won't hesitate
We won't close our eyes
We won't turn away
We're taking back our lives
We won't hesitate
We won't close our eyes
We won't turn away
We're taking back our lives for the first time
For the first time
(We won't hesitate
We won't close our eyes
We won't turn away)
We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We're dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say
Zero, zero, zero, zero

Aftermath
There's nothing I can't face
So open the flood gates
No fear of what's to come
I'm not going under
Not running for cover
Standing against the sun
After the fire, after the flames
Nothing will feel the same
My scars are closing, my heart is open
I am not afraid
I'm ready to burn again
I'm beginning to catch my breath
I'm ready to dream again
Surviving will love me for take
I had to bleed to lose
Find myself to prove
I could feel love without you
I'm all that I have
I am the aftermath!
Show with no mercy
Cause it cannot hurt me
No more will I bite my tongue
Tired of worthless fighting the purpose
No long I will last stay numb
After the fire, after the flames
Nothing will feel the same
My scars are closing, my heart is open
I am not afraid
I'm ready to burn again
I'm beginning to catch my breath
I'm ready to dream again
Surviving will love me for take
I had to bleed to lose
Find myself to prove
I could feel love without you
I'm all that I have
I am the aftermath!
Break my bones, you will see;
You can't kill me, you can't kill me!
Break my bones, you will see;
You can't kill me, you can't kill me!
You can't kill me!
I'm ready to break again
I'm beginning to catch my breath
I'm ready to dream again
Surviving will love me for take
I had to bleed to lose
Find myself to prove
I could feel love without you
I'm all that I have
I'm all that I have
I'm all that I have
I am the aftermath!
I am the aftermath!
(Aftermath)
Break my bones, you will see;
You can't kill me, you can't kill me!
Break my bones, you will see;
You can't kill me, you can't kill me!

Hologram
Through your eyes I fight for gravity
A place to stand, and a place to breathe
When the walls begin to shake
In the home you thought you knew
Will you run? Will you stay? Will you choose?
Do you know who I am?
I'm so afraid you'll never understand
There's a part of me still lost out there
And I just want to know
Yeah, I just want to know
Am I becoming a hologram?
Close your eyes from the darker side of things
A shade of grey hidden under sheets
When the walls begin to shake
In the home you thought you knew
Will you run? Will you stay? Will you choose?
Do you know who I am?
I'm so afraid you'll never understand
There's a part of me still lost out there
And I just want to know
Yeah, I just want to know
Am I becoming a hologram?
Now I think I'm worried that I'm in too deep
Like a phantom that you'll never see
So I just want to know
Yeah I just want to know
Am I a part of the hologram?
You have seen this incident based on sworn testimony.
Can you prove that it didn't happen?
Perhaps on your way home someone will pass you in the dark, and you will never know it, for they will be from outer space
Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined
Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined
Redefined
Do you know who I am?
I'm so afraid you'll never understand
There's a part of me still lost out there
And I just want to know
Yeah, I just want to know
Am I becoming a hologram?
Now I think I'm worried that I'm in too deep
Like a phantom that you'll never see
So I just want to know
Yeah I just want to know
Am I a part of the hologram?
Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined
Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined

Lucky Us
Are you hanging on my words tonight?
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Hold your breath and everything's just fine
Don't you get it?
Forgotten we could be alone if we waste away, waste away
If there's a love that brings us home, it drowned today
We smile and grind our teeth away
Good luck forgot to call our names
Good god
Lucky us, lucky us, lucky us
No one's hanging on our words tonight
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
You can try, but you won't change their minds
Don't forget it
Burned in the sun
Afraid of what you'll become
You'll pay the price when you're free, you'll see
Tell me who you want to be
Tell me what you want to see
We smile and grind our teeth away
Good luck forgot to call our names
Good god
Tortured, but no one leads the way
Force-fed like rats inside a maze
Good god
Lucky us, lucky us, lucky us
Are you hanging on my words tonight?
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Hold your breath and everything's just fine
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
We smile and grind our teeth away
Good luck forgot to call our names
Good god
Tortured, but no one leads the way
Force-fed like rats inside a maze
Good god
Lucky us, lucky us, lucky us
Lucky us, lucky us, lucky us

Weight Of The World
You've been doing what you like
Thinking that you're always right
You can hold your breath,
'Cause I won't hold mine
You wouldn't care if it killed me
Misunderstood when you're guilty
No you can bite your tongue
'Cause I won't bite mine
It's all so complicated
The way we're built to break it
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world
I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick
Now you think you've won this time
Thinking life was yours to buy
But you should wonder why
You can't sleep at night
You wouldn't care if it killed me
Misunderstood when you're guilty
No you can bite your tongue
'Cause I won't bite mine
This time
It's all so complicated
The way we're built to break it
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world
Don't need your validation
Your drawn out dedication
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world
I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick
I'm so sick
It's all so complicated
The way we're built to break it
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world
Don't need your validation
Your drawn out dedication
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world
I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick
I'm so sick

Signs Of Life
I fill these bones with hollow promises
I can feel the world outside under my skin
And all these walls are slowly caving in
I would climb if I could find my way again
It feels so close, yet so far gone
It feels so close, but still
I'm looking for a sign of life behind the sky
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
A sign of life to redefine
Is anybody there?
Cause I just need a sign of life
(A sign of life)
Can I go on, lost without a trace?
Am I afraid to hold the light and lead the way?
I may be wrong, another face without a name
But I'm alive and I can see I'm not the same
It feels so close, yet so far gone
It feels so close, but still
I'm looking for a sign of life behind the sky
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
A sign of life to redefine
Is anybody there?
I'm fighting for a sign of life
(I'm fighting for a sign of life)
I'm looking for a way out, cause I'm way out and I'm on my own
I'm looking for a way out, cause I'm way out and I'm on my own
I'm looking for a way out, cause I'm way out and I'm on my own
I'm looking for a way out, cause I'm way out
I'm looking for a sign of life behind our eyes
Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
A sign of life to redefine
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
A sign of life behind our eyes
Is anybody there?
I'm fighting for a sign of life
(A sign, a sign)
(A sign, a sign)

Oxygen
The chemicals
I think they're telling us we're not alone
The molecules
They're taking shape until we let them go
Breathe you in, breathe you out
When it's all too much
Breathe you in, breathe you out
You're my one true drug
I can hardly wait to float above the angels
I'm high again off your oxygen
Calling in the dark, you pull me through the stars
I'm so high again off your oxygen
There's something changing inside the way I see
The air I thought that I needed is just a memory
So captivated inside a world we dream
Breathe you in, breathe you out
When it's all too much
Breathe you in, breathe you out
You're my one true drug
I can hardly wait to float above the angels
I'm high again off your oxygen
Calling in the dark, you pull me through the stars
I'm so high again
The chemicals
I think they're telling us we're not alone
The chemicals
I think they're telling us we're not alone
I can hardly wait to float above the angels
I'm high again off your oxygen
Calling in the dark, you pull me through the stars
I'm so high again off your oxygen

Kaleidoscope
Say hello to the night
Let order and chaos fill your eyes
Brave the fear in your mind
Walk into the afterlight
Afterlight [x4]
The colors fly like gold in my hands
With open eyes, I'm starting again
Before you go, I think you should know
The world is your kaleidoscope
Break the sequence of hate
There's nowhere but up to go, so follow close
And you'll see the dawn of an age
Where pillars have turned to stone, and martyrs pave the way
The colors fly like gold in my hands
With open eyes, I'm starting again
Before you go, I think you should know
The world is your kaleidoscope
The colors fly like gold in my hands
With open eyes, I'm starting again
Before you go, I think you should know
The world is your kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope
Afterlight [x4]
Say hello to the night
Let order and chaos fill your eyes

For Days
When you find what you love let it go
When you find what you love let it go
Don't wait
Don't wait
When you're lost in the tide, then you know
You can swim but you're not gonna know
The way
The way
All this time I just smiled
Held my fist and closed my eyes
Told myself we'd be just fine
Caught in a haze of blurry lines for days
For days
Do we find who we are in the cold?
Do we fight when there's no one to love?
There's a calm in your eyes when you know
That you're floating above the unknown
All this time I just smiled
Held my fist and closed my eyes
Told myself we'd be just fine
Caught in a haze of blurry lines for days
For days
For days
For days

Mercury
It's never to late
It's never to late to let go
Of all that you know
You're never the same
You're never the same when
You find the highs and the lows
A lonely reminder, A lonelier message
It will swallow you whole
I'm not okay, I'm not okay this time
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break tonight
No one can see the world I see
The ground below me starts to sing
I'm not okay anyway
You're bending the road
You're bending the road when you
hide and wait for a sign
The answers await
The answers await when you find
the fear in your mind
But if I could find you
You know I would take you
I would swallow you whole
I'm not okay, I'm not okay this time
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break tonight
No one can see the world I see
The ground below me starts to sing
No one can see the world I see
I never closed my eyes
I never turned away
But I did this on my own
I did this on my way own
I never closed my eyes
I wanted everything
Now I know its all my fault
My fault
I'm not okay, I'm not okay this time
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break tonight
No one can see the world I see
The ground below me starts to sing
No one can see the world I see
I'm not okay anyway
