Empire! Empire! The Next Step To Regaining Control
i knew that you wouldn't change, but i bit my tongue and
swore,
resigned myself to carry on despite you.
but you would not match my stride and cried,
"foul! foul! how could you expect me to care about
somebody else?"
and after all, who would expect anything else from you?
you would not apologize for what you claimed you'd never
do.
you guard your hand like there is something brilliant
waiting to play itself off.
and when you move to strike, everything will fall into
place.
but i'll call your bluff. i know you're all talk.
and when the words come out
there will be nothing left but promises.
i wanted it to be different, to see truth where it did
not fit.
but the harder i looked, the farther you seemed from it.
there is a cadence here, i guess, for every measured
misstep.
i put one foot forward and you take two steps back.
so just say what you want.
