lyrics

it's not the company that I bought
it's not what I sought
when you got notice of the word

I came into your galaxy
wanting eternity
didn't think things would be this difficult to say
but in essence, you've got the presence that pleases
but not the balls to say

effort, that you have made
effortless as we have been
I'm wondering if you could come again

my king and queen
don't mean the same thing
as your country or century

I wanted to make something beautiful
you wanted to make something powerful

now, we've got ourselves in quite a state
and I don't mean what you do when you say "state"

I want emotion
you want revolution
you come from something
I have never seen
I want the best and
you just want something
not quite as painful as the centuries have been

I want the stars to talk to you directly
you don't expect me to actually believe
that you don't see
what I see
when I come back from
eternity
