[Verse 1]

So now we're here

Still nowhere near of where we thought we would be

Mislead by false epiphanies

Reducing all our victories 'til we forget we won at all

[Pre Chorus]

The laurel wreath it withers

As you're breaking down

But you may find a better fitting crown

[Chorus]

The promised empire is crumbling at your feet

And the only thing you're feeling is relief

Take your bags take what you need

You'll always feel incomplete if you stay here hoping to succeed

[Verse 2]

And if you leave go slow

So you don't need to know what lays ahead

But go steady as you came

Stop playing someone else's game waiting for a fluke

[Chorus]

The promised empire is crumbling at your feet

And the only thing you're feeling is relief

Take your bags take what you need

You'll always feel incomplete if you stay here hoping to succeed
