White Flag

Stare if you stare

At the stars, the stars

They’ll burn out and fall

In the fields that surround you

If you won’t look up

If you keep your chin down

Raise the white flag

Just raise the white flag

If you’re just gonna cave in

Just lay down and die

Just lay down and die

Trust me, trust me

I know you feel it deep down

Just breathe, just breathe

If you want it bad enough

It’ll come to you

You’re giving up all you are

Why do you need a thousand

eyes pointing back at you?

Why do you want your

name in the empty banner

Of those with naught to say?

I can see you slipping

I can see you slipping away again

I can see you drowning in the midnight tide

In the tide

I can see the sunlight

pierce through the door

You are all the things

I choose to ignore

I am a starving man who does impossible things

And you can’t see fire if you’re standing in flames

Just raise the white flag

Trust me, trust me

I know you feel it deep down

Just breathe,

Just breathe

If you want it bad enough

It’ll come to you

If you want it

It’ll come to you

But you don’t want it

I can see the sunlight

pierce through the door

You are all the things

I choose to ignore

Trust me

Just raise the white flag

Just breathe

Just raise the white flag

Burn and fall
