i want to see souls behind every eye
i want to know hope in every sunrise
i want to burn like fire when the poor are despised
and the weak are trampled despite their fiercest cries
i want to live like everywhere’s home
i want to love a& never feel alone
i want to silence the words that break the hearts before the damage is done
and crumble the walls that hold back what’s to come
but i see surrender in your eyes, i’ve known it in my own a thousand times
with last hope tied to the mast, helmed by the fears of failures past
but wage battle and move forward, the struggle is its own reward
i want to breathe like death’s grip’s closing tight
i want to sing like it’s “Whiskey Tonight”
i’m going to stand by my family & damn all that come against the ironclad of our might
we’ll haunt the prose of the poets long after we’ve died
