Songs for a Dead Banner (Lyrics)

So who’s to blame? When it’s in your blood, too much to brave You can count your blessings only for so long Until they all feel the same A new religion under a banner You can’t foster love You preach division and there’s nothing sadder You’re allegiant all the same But I want to be somebody I want to be your human bomb I want to be somebody I want to bleed American Lead us to shelter Lead us to air Feed us the cancer Manufacture the cure Your status quo upon a cross You sport our lives on a crown In this quiet world, who will save us? Who will pray for me? It’s all backwards. Long live our sadness on a flag – If it’s all a crippling fear, if it’s all a fever dream You won’t find us anymore We’ve pulled apart all the seams. The same blood. The same dreams. Tell your kids to die with me.
