Empires Lyrics by Coastlines

2019

So many look yet so few truly see
So many humans, but no humanity
All of them someone
But never themselves
They're smiling and laughing
But going through hells

They mask what they're feeling
"Show none of the bad"
Theres no shame in crying
In showing you're sad

I feel no shame in crying
In showing I'm sad
No shame in crying
In showing I'm sad

Fake a smile re-assure
They must never know
Fake a smile readjust
Win their trust, win their trust

Its falling your empire in dust
Ashes, an empire in flames
See thе fire and the brimstone
See the mask melted down
Hear the truth remove the blindfold
Embold it on a tombstone

Feel the rush, feel adored
An even score

Followed by sheep
(I've tried to ignore)
You pretend to be deep
(I've tried to forget)
Feasting on diffidence

You make me sick

So many humans but no humanity
So many look yet so few truly see
So many humans but no humanity
So many look yet so few truly

Humanity!

It's falling your empire in dust
Ashes, an empire in flames

An empire in flames
