Together Apart [2014]


Let me hold your hand
Like you held mine
Let me point out the stars
You said would shine

Let me tell you stories
Like you've told me
Let me close my eyes
And count to three

We've got one life
Maybe that's all we need
The now is plenty
Without the greed
We've grown together
Yet we've grown apart
Appearances will wither
But we'll stay young at heart

The clock ticks on
But we've got time
So let me hold your hand
Like you held mine.

The Resistance [2013]



Decades went by,
Then centuries at most,
They ripped off my face,
And tied me to a post,
They paraded the streets,
They rejoiced my defeat,
Celebrations of survival,
Of a duty complete.


Time took its toll,
They hide behind my face,
Traditions were changed,
My stories were twisted,
My efforts were famed,
My struggle was divided,
Some took on the weight,
To march forward with resistance,
Against the self-proclaimed greats.


When they’re not the disgrace,
They struggle for the majority,
From those who abuse authority,
The times may have changed,
But the motives they linger,
It began on the 5th of November,
So Remember, Remember
