lyrics

Fallen dust becomes dirt again, again
Let’s not glitter this worn ground
Let’s not pretend
Must we stir up wicked winds, my friend
Stir up all our forgotten sins
Breathe in
Breathe in

It’s getting colder out, I know, I know
Take my coat to keep you safe
It’s starting to snow
Time is barely passing by, so slow
We’ll have no time to wonder why we didn’t
Breathe in

Flag up, face down, I surrendered too late
Flag up, face down, I surrender

Take your shovel, we must bury what was once so pure.
Dig down deeper, six feet deeper, maybe in death we’ll find a cure
for what turns love into anger, what turns bliss into the bends.
I guess it doesn’t matter, there’s nothing left here for me to defend.
I let it end.

Flag up, face down, I surrender too late
But who can even remember why we fight?
Time’s up
It’s dead.
But did I surrender
too soon to see us become all we could have been after the war?

I tried so only to love you
Hold the world high above you
Protect you from its evil ways.
But all the time that I tried to
Save the one I had lied to
I was the one needing to be saved.
But I turned away.

Flag up, face down
What an ironic state.
I let you go.
And I know you’ll forgive me
but I just can’t forgive myself.
