In long course
those times feel so distant grey
are these someone else’s memories?
We were brothers
tied to each other’s days
we were known and loved by the sun
feared by our enemies
when did you cross over to this sleeping wake vacant
stare cuts right through words and leaves the thought
stopped dead
inside far is it lost
such a might
why exhaust?
but you aren’t the same
you forgot your strength
when you were before you’d
break through that door and destroy the day
but now you don’t go through that door
and now I hate that you do what you’re told to do that’s
not you yeah well now you’ve got to go back to seek what
you knew and I can’t stand to see you cower anymore
swear, never tire from this road
dont you ever hold
change should be your home
