The stars sing; I've got their song in my head

My new favorite song of the moment is "Ultimatum" by the Long Winters.
It speaks to me somehow...

Ultimatum
Student, why do you dream of me
When you dream of your acre of trees?
It was agreed, I came to burn leaves.
It's all I ever claimed to do.
A plowman I'll never grow into...

My arms miss you; my hands miss you.
The stars sing; I've got their song in my head.
Ahhh....

Blue in the broad light of day
As claws snagged on my face.
Say it: I wish we were naked,
And I wish I could take it
When you turn on me...

My arms miss you; my hands miss you.
The stars sing; I've got their song in my head.
I don't want my words twisted.
I don't want you to listen too closely,
Or wait for me impatiently,
And I hope I can keep seeing you
As long as you don't say you're falling in love...

Crave translates into slave.
No one can harness the rain.
And I can make myself into rain,
Can you feel me on your cheek
And on your sleeve?

My arms miss you; my hands miss you.
The stars sing; I've got their song in my head.
I don't want my words twisted.
I don't want you to listen too closely,
Or wait for me impatiently,
And I hope I can keep seeing you
As long as you don't say you're falling in love...

But I can feel you're about to forget.

Yes, I can feel you're about to forget...
