Flags

Somewhere in the fog I heard a cry It kept me up for hours Haunts me every night Screaming through my veins, the fire spreads Fill me up with poison Dark clouds overhead, I'm soaking wet I'm hurt, I'm hurt you didn't know That there's no pretty way to tell you so I'm tired, so tired I'm letting go I've been burning flags to let you know Time is up, time has flown Time has flown Here she comes, she lays beside my head She holds me through my winter In this awful bed Softly, in my ear, she casts her spell Fuck this cursed cancer Send it straight to hell, she knows me well I'm hurt, this body's wearing thin A beautiful mistake I'm living in I'm tired, sometimes I fantasize They push me out to sea, coins on my eyes Family, friends say goodbye Say goodbye I'm hurt, not hurt enough to die See I was born to rage, born to fight I'm tired, not tired enough to sleep So, devil on my chest, don't sing to me Or take my breath, let me be Oh, let me be
