[Verse 1]
Tough life
Cracked teeth
Empty heart
No sleep
Broken glass in my chest
Every dream dies cheap
[Pre-chorus]
But I still crawl
Through the static in my skull
I want success
I want the world to feel it all
[Chorus]
From empty to empire
Hear me now
Hear me now
I was broken
Just barbed wire
But you’ll listen to me now
More listened to
Till the walls all bow
From empty to empire
You will listen to me now
[Verse 2]
Cold room
Dim screen
No one knows what I mean
Every word
Unheard
Like a throat with no scream
[Outro]
Tough life
I steal fire
Empty veins burn loud
Broken boy
New empire
You will listen to me now
