"Forever Half Mast" Lyrics:

I'm taking back roads

all the way back home.

Everything I’ve known,

just a little bit 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.

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.

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.

All for one and one for all.

Nobody escaped the fall.

Wait for something magical.

Mistake turned into miracle.
