I Have...

Pages turn 

My stare burns 

The conflict of logic 

The crowd stands in awe 



Screen in a speakeasy 

A man in black 

We've addressed many times 

And call on now 



Thought occurs 

I've been here before 

Hear his words 

I've seen him somewhere 

The vision haunts 

I know him somehow 

As I tear my mind 

I've been here before 



Never has power risen so 

As we lay our bodies to the butcher called 

Patriotism 

Another shot heard round the world 

But this time, literally 

As I fall slain by faith 

I can almost hear liberty say 

I have loved just this once 

But have lived and died many times 



History books 

We were so young 

We were so strong 

That's what they taught us 



Baring in mind 

It's only a book 

I close it and walk out 

Wide eyes and all 



Think out loud
