After the Flags Songtext

After the Flags Songtext
"But 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
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
After the flags they′re selling off the wall
If I can't reach you with reason
You set us up for a fall
After the flags you′re nobody at all
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
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
After the flags they′re selling off the wall
If I can't reach you with reason
You set us up for a fall
After the flags you′re nobody at all
