Empire of Gold - Memories

Slowly running from the words I speak
Cause they bring the truth to me
Every drop of the saltiest sea
Couldn’t soothe these wounds I bare
As I’m trying to see your face
As you’d stare back at mine
This grown up prince you loved so much
And your princess you were so proud
Your memories are what keep me strong
So loving God please don’t take them away
In a deadly crash or a deadly disease
You can take my heart but please don’t take my mind
I’ll try my best to follow your ways
That’s all I want his memories in my soul
To take me away to the better times
Away from the money and the lies
All our lives it’s been hide and seek
Count to ten and hope we see
More and more I feel like my guitar
Pure and hollow is my soul
Life’s the fingers picking my strings
Why am I tuned to the minor scale
This poet inside created in vain
Nothing left to go insane
The thought of you is what brings me to my knees
I once could see but now am blind
Oh judge, oh judge where’s my damn reprieve
I plead insanity on every count
Oh, I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole
Put down the bottle don’t forget the key
Pass me the cake that makes me grow
Take me to the promise land
My memories are what keep me strong
So loving God please don’t take them away
In a deadly crash or a deadly disease
You can take my heart but please don’t take my mind
You can take my heart but please don’t take my mind
