I Have - Saccharine Trust

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
