Evidence
Crown the Empire Lyrics

This is the road I chose
I have made deliberate decisions in my life that brought me to where I am today

This is the life I've made
I have created a life for myself based on the choices I made and the opportunities I took

Say what you want but know this world opened her arms for me
Despite any criticism or doubt, I believe the world has accepted me and welcomed me

I write these words in blood
I pour my heart and soul into these words

I write these words for you
I am writing these words for the people who will listen and be impacted by them

This world deserves to finally know the truth
The world needs to hear the honest and raw message in my words

Your arrogance blinds you
Your pride and self-importance prevents you from seeing the reality of the situation

Why don't you open your mind
You should try to be more receptive and open to new ideas and perspectives

And listen to the words
Pay attention to the message being conveyed

That could save your life
These words have the potential to profoundly impact your life and change your perspective

We all grow tired of
We can become fatigued by

What we think we know
Our assumptions and beliefs about what we understand to be true

But at the end of the day
Ultimately

We have to choose where our paths go
It is up to us to determine the direction our lives take

Decide at the fork in the road
Make a choice when you reach a pivotal moment

Just so you know we'll never go under
We will not fail or be defeated

Please tell me, please tell me
Please attempt to persuade me or convince me

You say we follow along
You believe we conform to societal norms

Well now follow along
Now follow along on this journey with me

They're all I have.
These words I am sharing are everything I possess

To open the door that could never be cracked.
To reveal an opportunity or possibility that was once unreachable

Because all your hate
Your negativity and animosity

Won't wear me down
Will not defeat me or break my spirit

I'll still be the last one left wearing the crown
I will be the one to triumph and achieve greatness

You think we're hopeless and lost
You believe we are incapable of succeeding and aimless in direction

You think we're just fucking pawns
You perceive us to be powerless and controlled by forces beyond our control

But we will never be
We will not be defeated or oppressed

I lie awake and dream of how we will change the world, change the world!
I constantly envision a world where we can make a positive impact and create change

It's up to us to fill in the cracks
It is our responsibility to address the flaws and imperfections in the world

And bring this world back to what it could have been
Work to restore this world to its original, intended state

You'll never find happiness while you live inside hate.
Holding onto negative feelings and emotions will prevent you from achieving true happiness and fulfillment

Yeah!
