lyrics

I've been blessed with the voice of an angel
But more than often I got nothing to say
I started talking with the tongue of the devil
Who tried to tell me I was born that way

I left home at the turn of the century
Took a look around and followed the sun
But pretty soon I had no sense of direction
And time is racing when there's nowhere to turn

I wake up early and set my intentions
I got a message to share with the world
Come after midnight and I'm crippled with thinking
I'm wound up and my mind's unfurled

Can I be factual in a future of fiction?
It’s hard to know if I'm right or I'm wrong
I found the answer in a beautiful moment
But in a moment the moment was gone

And I hear you say nothing at all
There’s no words so don’t speak
And you might as well talk to the wall
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
Kingdoms rise and fall

Look in the mirror and make an impression
You tell your stories let the pictures unfold
A shattered vision from when I was younger
I’m separated but at one with the world

I’m on the line between success and failure
I get confused with what I’m trying to say
Communication is a gift and a burden
The words come, the words get in the way

And I hear you say nothing at all
There’s no words, so don’t speak
And you might as well talk to the wall
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
Kingdoms rise and fall

I met my unicorn in an elevator
Said she was going to the 99th floor
We hit the top and then she said “see you later"
We made a memory then we closed the door

And I hear her say nothing at all
There’s no words, so don’t speak
Well you might as well talk to the wall
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
Kingdoms rise and fall
