It's all been said and done
If we aren't dying we're numb
We should put down our guns
Cause all we need is love

Ignorance is queen
The world is cold and mean
And when I'm dead and gone
You won't remember me

Equality is all we yearn
Conformity is all we've learned
Convince ourselves that we still care
Sing the same old song

The tune that gives us hope
Reminds us that we're ******
Anchor in the water
Feet tied in the rope
You're a good one of you strive
And even better if you die
We have faith you'll break the surface
Just know that we're proud
Humanity is worth it
We all know you'll drown

Remember you in honor
Because you soldiered on
Even though you're gone
It's all been said and done

History
a struck match
The future
A broken record
In between
We still believe
It just keeps getting better

Honesty
A ghost no one seems to see
Denying all the signs
Refusing to believe

It's all been said before
Recycled metaphors
Intrigue you all with rhyme
Sing the same old song

That whisper in the wind
Instilling you with purpose it's bestowed time and again
Inside you lies the power to make that final change
Slit there throats
Or when there hearts
I guess it's all the same

Remember you were chosen
We have faith you'll stand your ground
So beautifully heroic when the same wind knocks you
Down

Remember me,
Or don't.
I'll exist again.

Honesty's ghost
A message in the wind
