I Revere

(アルバム： Phototroph - 2022)

Too close to
Too many ends
Too much heartbreak
I watched it rend
Too many memories
Of dead friends
To mend

A child throwing sand
At the unforgiving tide
These folk, a plague
Upon sound mind
Geography
And the warmth of a woman's eyes
No longer offer
A place to hide

Too much caught throat
And not enough tears
More and more knife play
With less and less fear
But I won't bleed for the wound
That chose to disappear

Cause my heart's still beating
So I won't stop believing
I'm loud cause I'm here
I revere

They swoon and they woop
To dance and die young
Cause they don't have the guts
To write their own song
They swallow security
Like the warmth of a kissed gun
They cheer for champions
Then they say it can't be done

To the wild unknown to heal
With a burning fervor and zeal
Tomorrow's too long
To stick around here

Cause my heart's still beating
So I won't stop believing
I'm loud cause I'm here
I revere

Grabbed that thunder
From under the clouds
And I caressed that lightning
And I drank its kiss down
Because

Tomorrow's woe is a grave
But I ain't in it yet
So I won't go, I won't bend
I ain't giving in
All I've gotta do
Is just keep sticking it out
All I've gotta do
Is just keep sticking it out
