The Afterglow - MotorPsycho

So the wheel has turned again

And we’re left here at the end

Of something that was bigger than us all

The old guard has stepped down

A king passed down his crown

And left us tumbling in free fall

Nothing fills the void that we are facing

No one’s gravity is as strong

And here we are spinning

Farther apart as we’re clinging

To the memory’s weight still shared

It’s never just an end

But it’s not easy to transcend

An entire lifetime and its weight

The memories will last

But the hole is just too vast

Truly too big to negate

A place is empty at the table

Unanswered questions pile up on the floor

And a formal alliance

Yields only a silence

That we break as we learn to crawl

Smaller than we were

(respect?) is all in a blur

We need more strength to hold the fort

So be with us if you can

We’ll lend a helping hand

We need all your kindness and support

The things that you taught us

About our place in the cosmos

It’s time that we learned to walk
