Forever Half Mast

I'm taking back roads

All the way back home

Everything I’ve known

Just a little overgrown

I didn't choose this town

I can undo it now

I try to love the beast

No matter what it thinks of me

You're worried that you’ll go to hell

For all the lives that you can't save

For all the money that you waste

For all the good you throw away

Yes, you're evil but you're not that bad

You put out your palm more than the back of your hand

They were wrong when they said: Forget the past

Let your flag fly at forever half mast

Let your flag fly at forever half mast

We're in a state of disarray

United by our darkest days

Aching from the growing pains

They always say it's just a phase

America, the tried and true

Red and white and black and blue

Tell me, who did this to you?

If it was me, I hardly knew

Yes, you're evil but you're not that bad

You put out your palm more than the back of your hand

They were wrong when they said: Forget the past

Let your flag fly at forever half mast

Let your flag fly at forever half mast

All for one and one for all

Nobody escaped the fall

Wait for something magical

Mistake turned into miracle
