lyrics

the throne of time
is a kingly thing
i fear the fool amongst us thinks he's the king

the things we do
locked away for sure
heaven knows it's getting hard to endure

and pressed
as we are, girl
to our fashions
to our fate
baby, it's too late

it's us and our companions
lions lost in the canyons
maybe it was always too late

it was always too late

shallow
are the feelings
i've been feeling
as we speak

dumb
are the visions
i envision
when i speak

and lots
of us suckers
we've got children
we've got feels
baby, it's too real

the vacuum that surrounds us
and a space vast and wondrous
maybe it was always too late

it was always too late
