Defector

Counting down the days

And now its clear to me

All that’s left is legacy

And now the cracks begin to show

So very irresistible

In this sobered state I await the unknown

Counting down the days

Until I see you face to...

Face another day

Can I pace myself now?

And in the afterglow

Remembering every hero

Recalling ones who planted flags in setting suns

There are pleasant inns along the way

But home will never be this place

I’d rather be forgotten than here eternally
