Weary skies look down
as simple hearts abound
breaking all the legacies
of better days
and brighter things

They held the wisdom
now despised
and built the truth
now called lies

Here I watch
the faded dawn
knowing greatness
is nearly gone

My heart in chains
where words aren't free
Held in my head
and eccentricity

They break the stone
upon the ground
How long before
they tear me down?
