oldies that i just cant delete oh the milestones
come and go
ghosts flitting with fast wings
through old homes
outside the window a blue jay sings
todays the day of everything
do you count the seconds away?
hold doubt in the shortening days?
I hear muffled congrats
and applause
the celebration of our death
and our flaws
chewing the cold fat
running our hands over our dull claws
todays the day
it became what it was
a damned good legend
it was a lonely day
it never used to be this way
oh, the milestones that come and go
year after year since home
flitting fireflies dying at my window
but you are the constant glow
not bad, what we've done
how far we've come
come apart, together, and undone
todays the day
we lost so much, fought, and won
I remember where I came from
we are a warriors breed
And for my homeland, I bleed
we are the true blood brothers, you and me...
oh the words, they come and go
smile and weep for each passing stone
todays the day that started everything
and this morning a timer buzzed
the hour at which it became what it truly was
a damned good legend
