March On

(album: Pride - 2014)

I saw the signs, how could I be so blind?
Your laughter used to shine just like a little child
You'd been so strong, so good for so long
You thought you'd even out the balance of your life
You're dying, you're dying

And we all will raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone
And the flag will fly half mast as we march on
You left a girl, innocent, pure like a pearl, asking herself why
She wasn't enough to stop you giving up that stuff
Her whole world came crashing from the skies
She's crying, she's crying

And we all will raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone
And the flag will fly half mast as we march on

Popping pills until you fade, hope to God your bills are paid
Try not exaggerate, any fool can make mistakes
You'll turn it into Frankenstein every time you lose your mind
Sunday morning coming down, it's Sunday morning if it comes around

And we all will raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone
(As we march on) And the flag will fly half mast as we march on
(As we march on)

Is this what it's like there? No stress, no fear
You float like a tissue over clouds of despair
I can't imagine what it's like to be there
I can't imagine why you don't want to be here

Popping pills until you fade (We'll raise a glass)
Hope to God your bills are paid (When you're gone)
Try not exaggerate, any fool can make mistakes (As we march on)
You'll turn it into Frankenstein (We'll raise a glass)
Every time you lose your mind (When you're gone)
Sunday morning coming down, it's Sunday morning if it comes around
(As we march on)

Well raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone
(As we march on) And the flag will fly half mast
As we march on (When you're gone)
As we march on we'll raise a glass when you're gone
As we march on we'll raise a glass when you're gone
As we march on

And we all will raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone
And the flag will fly half mast as we march on
As we march on
