Devotion

I see the young
Lose their way
Lost in a world of ignorance
Led astray
Led astray by the face of the hour
You consume it all
It’s forcing you to break
In the light of this fire we started
We slowly fade away
Outlive the heroes you named and shamed
We outlived the heroes you named and shamed
Pictures black
A poisned page
Forgive and replace
Hold your breath
Do you still hold your head high
With our names scribed across your chest?
Take your eyes and watch me from afar
A presence lost
Can never be found
Endless memories of nothing at all
Pick myself up off the floor
These are the moments we live for
How did you see?
How did you know?
The fire burns brighter the deeper you go
In the face of a stranger
