Independance Day

well future stepped into my field and turned it into an empire
forefathers where are you now?
your dust is settling on my furniture
oh independence day, I never knew it would be so symbolic.
oh independence day.
well I stepped out of a cloud and the ditch it is close
I mean the ditch it is closing in.
Hemmingway did yourself justice
so here's to you you articulate dead fisherman
independence day, I never knew it would be so symbolic.
independence day.
independence day, I never knew it would be so symbolic.
independence day.
what if I said I loved you
and i needed your guidance to help me through the obstacles?
would you say I am too wordy and then, then would you laugh?
what if I said I'm under glass untouchable as the document itself?
would you say ok,
and that you never even considered me?
oh independence day, yes independance,
independance day, independance,
independance day, day,
independance day, I never knew it would be so symbolic.
