[Verse 1]

My heart's spent on your conscience

It's in debt but I'm not

I'm always more than honest

It hurts more than I want

I'm tearin' through the conflict

I'm sick of all the bullshit

I can't breathe through the poison

To cleanse me of your haunting

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I never meant to give up my innocence

Oh, patience runs deep in my veins and I drown in it

[Chorus]

'Cause you gave me an empire

You made me your only queen

I didn't know that my throne was built

On guilt and fantasy

You gave me an empire

You already knew you'd leave

I watched it all as you burned down these walls

The ashes fall like snow, they bury me

[Verse 2]

I gave you someone empty

And scraped everything out

Kept all of my insides

And I left you with the doubt

I won't give you the light that

You're swearing that you need

I'm tryin' to contain it

So I'm here still when you leave

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, you never meant to give up indifference

Oh, your pulse runs deep in my veins and I drown in it

[Chorus]

'Cause you gave me an empire

You made me your only queen

I didn't know that my throne was built

On guilt and fantasy

You gave me an empire

You already knew you'd leave

I watched it all as you burned down these walls

The ashes fall like snow, they bury me

[Interlude]

You bury me

In the madness of my heart

[Chorus]

'Cause you gave me an empire

You made me your only queen

I didn't know that my throne was built

On guilt and fantasy

You gave me an empire

'Cause you already knew you'd leave

I watched it all as you burned down these walls

The ashes fall like snow, they bury me
