Forever Half Mast

I'm taking back roads, all the way back home Everything I've known, just a little overgrown I didn't choose this town, I can't undo it now I tried 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 threw 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 Let your flag fly at forever half mast We're in a state of disarray, united by our darkest days Achin' 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 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
