Story Behind The Song
This is about Joe the lead singer/ guitarist and his habitual pot smoking. Or it could be about how he hates the government.
Song Description
"The Empire" is an overwhelming and overbearing thing that clouds your vision an impedes your progress and confuses your life. This be something out of your control, or of your own creation. This song is about recognizing that, accepting it, and destroying it to go on to conquer your own life. The empire could also be an out of control governmental system that hides everything and controls everything and you feel helpless in doing anything to stop it, it ends up controlling you whether you like it or not.

Lyrics
Been in this daze for too many days
So can you help me please get through this maze
Been too blazed am I insane
Or a slave to my ways?
Prioritize this time
A perpetual mine field of your own design
Still looking to find
How to intensify your mind
Take the test redefine
Affinity
My infinity
When something that I need
It buries me!
Still looking to find
How to intensify your mind
Take the test redefine
When all I need is one good joint and my guitar
I don't have to go nowhere to go very far
So give me one good joint then don't go too far
'Cause we can toke and you can help me forget it all
On what's been spent
Limitless evidence
For what's been eating
Represent!
Or am I really?
