Chasers of the Light & All The Words Are Yours are Out Now!

Text for Tired Eyes:

I cannot understand how we came to this,
to this place of misplaced hatred, violence
by the pathetic and pompous prompting
from a man that hides behind the podium.  
How did we come to this, how did the seas
that border us manage to trap in such
anger, such bigotry and prejudice?  Can they
not see that when we stay silent at the
spreading of evil, we are no better than
those that scream in its support?  
How can they not see that worlds went to war
to stop small men with small words spoken
loudly into swarms of sad and easily swayed
souls?  Tell me they are not blind
to this, to the precipice we are standing on,
to the cliff that drops into a valley of
what has already come before, and we
swore on flags and gravestones,
would never come again?  How are we here,
again?  
I will stand here, back to the edge, to the
terrifying nothing below, and I will extend
my arms out to embrace those that
shout the loudest, to show them another way;
we are not beyond the point of no return, we have time
to right the wrongs spurred on by lies and
simple minded promises by a man
who long ago fell in love with himself.  We
promised we’d never come here again,
and there is time to keep it.
