Forever Half Mast Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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't 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
All for one and one for all
Nobody escaped the fall
Wait for something magical
Mistake turned into miracle
