The Empiric Lyrics
We’re running out of space
But falling into place
The cracks we fill no fault of ours
Although we take the blame
Did you think that you could take
The bend and then the break
With promises of gold you claimed
Were fiction yesterday?
Do you feel alive?
Don’t go outside
Hold your breath;
This could be the end
We’re running blind
On borrowed time
Tell me my friend;
Do you fear death?
The choices you made were only
Protecting your riches
Ignoring the signs
You buried your heads in the sand
But when this is over and we
Find gaps in the stitches
Let it be known you’ve got
Blood on your hands
Do you feel alive?
Don’t go outside
Hold your breath;
This could be the end
We’re running blind
On borrowed time
Tell me my friend;
Do you fear death?
But falling into place
The cracks we fill no fault of ours
Although we take the blame
Did you think that you could take
The bend and then the break
With promises of gold you claimed
Were fiction yesterday?
Don’t go outside
Hold your breath;
This could be the end
We’re running blind
On borrowed time
Tell me my friend;
Do you fear death?
Protecting your riches
Ignoring the signs
You buried your heads in the sand
But when this is over and we
Find gaps in the stitches
Let it be known you’ve got
Blood on your hands
Don’t go outside
Hold your breath;
This could be the end
We’re running blind
On borrowed time
Tell me my friend;
Do you fear death?

I think this is about not owning up to one's past discrepancies. Furthermore it outlines how those who hide behind their lies & betrayals and think that they'll never have them come back around to punish them some day are simply existing in a fantasy world.
