After the Flags

Still it moves I heard you cry
Matters of fact attract with time to bide
Thread sisters stay on my side
Heavy headed when we collide
Ten sounds at once reverberate
Coin operations self sustain in a cloud
Compulsion caught will penetrate
Come on son do your country proud
Lead us down to the ocean
And wash our hands of campaigns for the self assured
Fading white in surrender
And weary from the beating sun that blinds you
Take a hit for catharsis
Take a hit for them all
After the flags they're selling off the wall
I wanna die for a reason
I wanna kill for a cause
Before they fall
The fall won't kill but it's gonna hurt
And for a moment clear the haze from your eyes
To redefine the lines of flesh and dirt
A sudden tenderness viscera surprise
Dressed in red to mourn the dead
6 o'clock do you watch just to wince at this
Eyes are wide we have been misled
And now you face the modern synthesis
Straighten out your fiction
As means to ends and ends to meaning guide you
Take a hit for catharsis
Take a hit for them all
Take a hit for them all
After the flags they're selling off the wall
I wanna die for a reason
I wanna kill for a cause
After the flags I'm nobody at all
Take a hit for catharsis
Take a hit for them all
Take a hit for them all
After the flags they're selling off the wall
After the flags they're selling off all
After the flags for a reason they're selling off the wall
After the flags you're nobody at all
