August 15th sees us begin
And before I can pick up the pen,
So many vivid memories already line the page
You wouldn’t believe it, the way things change
A place tearing at the seams with so many hopes and dreams
Something along the lines of life isn’t what it seems
I’ve come so far just to be pushed right in that hole
I fought so hard to get back all that you stole
What dust lies beneath, the rain came, just see how it took it all away from me
The darkest night sliced by the cold light
Taking back my body
It’s my life that I’m defending
Can you hear the shouts
A call for revolution I’m sending
The stars are guiding me there,
I can almost see the ending
I can feel the glow again,
The hole is mending
With the sun on my face,
I can finally stop pretending
Late night, a feelings repeat
Feel the flames nipping at my feet
Light breaks through my window
In the way it does every night
I jump out of my body into the feelings of that night
And I’ll take that night back if I have to rip it from his greedy hands
If no one understands, you can always hold my hand
I won’t be forever here, weighed down by what you’ve said
While you walk free and talk about how I’ve made a mess
Like the rising sun, your burning flames will dry my falling tears, with you I’ll spend my years
Lift your chin to the sky, and we can leave them all wondering why
Spell your name in the stars, helping me heal all my scars
