I Revere

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 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 givin' in All I've gotta do Is just keep sticking it out All I've gotta do Is just keep sticking it out
