[Hook]

You've got your guards and they've got their guns

They're overworked, and you've never, ever won a thing

In your life

[Verse One]

I've got my dreams, and I've got my sleep

And I've been promised a pill that's gonna keep

These visions of an empire at peace

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause my heart is my keep

And you are threatening me

'Cause my heart is my keep

And you are threatening me

[Chorus]

Oh, my God

You're the one I've been holding out

For, for so damn long, for so damn long

And you're a far cry from an empire at peace

[Verse Two]

I've got my knives and my heart up my sleeves

But this weather's getting too nice for me

To keep an empire at peace

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause my heart is my keep

And you are threatening me

'Cause my heart is my keep

And you are threatening me

[Chorus]

Oh, my God

You're the one I've been holding out

For, for so damn long, for so damn long

And you're a far cry from an empire...

[Hook]

You've got your guards and they've got their guns

They're overworked, and you've never, ever won a thing

In your life

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause my heart is my keep

And you are threatening me

'Cause my heart is my keep

And you are threatening me

[Chorus]

Oh, my God

You're the one I've been holding out

For, for so damn long, for so damn long

Hey!

Oh, my God

You're the one I've been holding out

For, for so damn long, for so damn long
