Independence Day
Jack McKeown
Turned my back on the empire we built
After watching the whole garden wilt
Were you ever really there for me?
These buds don't die gracefully
We can't fix now what's already broke
The trust's lost the fire's been stoked
Do you feel like we've been here before?
I've been here before!
Leave this all behind
(I thought you'd never)
Abandon this twisted design
(Drain the poison)
Never promised to you that I'd stay
(Given up hope so)
This is my independence day
Perspective is blurred as the days come and pass
The moat's dug the shadow's been cast
Is it running or staying a float?
I'm not being your fuckin' scapegoat!
But escape from the bow to the stern
The ship's still ablaze and will burn
Learn to create change and thrive
Stand side by side - diversified
