Crown The Empire – Menace lyrics

Someday, in this dark place,
One will step into the light,
And expose you for what you really are.

Why am I the one who just keeps on running?
Why am I surrounded by shadows of my doubt?
I search for some sort of solace,
But I am a man with no light to guide me out.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Why must I run?
Why must I hide? (Why must I hide?)
I'd rather be living in hell,
Than never have lived with nothing to tell.

[Chorus:]
So when you end up on your own,
With just your pillow to hold tight,
Please know,
There's no reason to be afraid.
Cause if they black out the sun,
And your blood turns to dust,
I'll follow you into your grave.

A menace, a monster,
The thing that haunts your dreams.
A nightmare, my comfort,
I'll thrive on all your tears.

I don't know what you take me for.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Why must I run?
Why must I hide? (Why must I hide?)
I'd rather be living in hell,
Than never have lived alone.

[Chorus:]
So when you end up on your own,
With just your pillow to hold tight, please know,
There's no reason to be afraid.
Cause if they black out the sun,
And your blood turns to dust, I'll follow you into your grave.
So when you're shattered and you're broke,
With out someone to hold on to,
Just know I'll always be close there behind.
And if you're able to love,
When's all said and done, than I swear we'll all be fine!

This won't be my last breath,
You can't take my life away!
You're just a worthless, good for nothing fuck!
Good for nothing fuck!

[Pre-Chorus:]
Why must I run?
Why must I hide? (Why must I hide?)
I'd rather be living in hell,
Than never have lived alone.

[Chorus:]
So when you end up on your own,
With just your pillow to hold tight, please know,
There's no reason to be afraid.
Cause if they black out the sun,
And your blood turns to dust, I'll follow you into your grave.
So when you're shattered and you're broke,
With out someone to hold on to,
Just know I'll always be close there behind.
And if you're able to love,
When's all said and done, than I swear we'll all be fine!
