kiss the flag: the widow

leave a whisper to get by, and i would gladly let go, a life left here afire, don't tell me how, his honor, will still keep him alive and then rattle off something hopeful, feel this divide, i'm falling apart, we lived high on better lies, you remind me of that time, when freedom was our calling home, but god chose you a side and left us all behind, how low, hold on and pray with all you've got, i have so long i'm blistered hurt and tired, without a light you're on your own, if it feels like this tonight, i'm gonna rattle like something's broke, inside, feel this divide, i'm falling apart, we lived high on better lies, you remind me of that time, when freedom was our calling home, but god chose you a side and left us all behind, how low, and i will do the damage, it wasn't my last home, is this where the faithless go, to rise and lay down, hope, it's written on your face, it's sealed in mine, it gets colder by a million times, i feel so strange, i feel like something's changed, but i feel like something's got to give, feel this divide, i'm falling apart, we lived high on better lies, you remind me of that time, when freedom was our calling home, but god chose you a side and left us all behind, how low
