Overthrown

you wear the sun like a trinket
you spin free from the infinite

even your trash is holy to us
we sing this song in your name

we paint the world we think you want
you inspire us to be free

though you sometimes fade into the darkness
we draw memories of you in our tomes

our oppressors beat us with arbitrary standards
for you we defy them

if it werent for you
we would be alone

we struggle to understand your song
but it is the only thing worth hearing

if you only see darkness around you
it is because you are the light

i need to make you see
