I am the dealer that dealt it
By breaking every one of my bones
Put out the feelers to find me
The copycat will follow me home
Stuck in the poison of systems united
So cry in the corner
Of small things, to fight it
How much do you really want to know?
I am an empire,
Down on my knees
I'm here on the inside
Where everything bleeds
So give me a reason
To show you my teeth
'Cause I am an empire
And you're underneath
Trying to silence
The masses
If everybody did what they told
I'm just a head case so stay back
Just in case
Don't be romantic and panic
It's over just as quick as you come
So cry in the corner
You small thing
You fighter
I am an empire,
Down on my knees
I'm here on the inside
Where everything bleeds
So give me a reason
To show you my teeth
'Cause I am an empire
And you're underneath
I am an Empire
'Cause I am an empire
