Kiss The Flag

(album: The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal Of Life Ends - 2007)

Don't shoot until you see
The red and white
And blue in my eyes
They say we're straddling fences
And it's not so comfortable

He thinks he grew up to be boring
And so he goes to change his life
I saw you get up on your toes
But don't step back too fast
Or you'll cut yourself in half

I wanted,
All I wanted was to find
Something here inside of me they couldn't keep
They woke up to hear me screaming

Just shoot until you see
The red on white
And blue in my sky
The proof is in the pictures
And it's not so comforting

He knows that one day they'll ignore him
And push him to the side
He said he'd kiss the flag before he died
He took one for his country
She said I'd do anything to have him back

I wanted,
All I wanted was to find
Something here inside of me they couldn't keep
They woke up to hear me screaming

God help us
God where are you in this fight?
Cause no one knows whose side you're on
Anymore, anymore
I'm lost and by myself

When this ends
Will freedom be the casualty
Or will it only
Will it be only me
Will it be only me
Will it be, only me

I wanted,
All I wanted was to find
Something here inside of me they couldn't keep
They woke up to hear me screaming

God help us
God where are you in this fight?
Cause no one knows whose side you're on
Anymore, anymore
You're not lost or by yourself
