Raise The Flag

Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh

But I like to keep some things to myself

I like to keep my issues strong

It's always darkest before the dawn

All these pretty lights... can't you see 'em?

Endless nights  and my life's museum

Where we see our heroes, and pretend to be 'em

And we seize the day... carpe diem

Previous to this dream state I had leftovers on each plate

Left shoe, all tatted up, from this long journey my feet ache

Left the life that I lived 'cause every day was just replays

And I dreamed big, walked around in my PJs

And my street days is still here

Never changed, like I still wear the pair

Phone call, what for?

We ain't long distance, I'm still there

Still on the blocks with gun cocks and gunshots

I'm up, I'm the leader of a sound of what's hot

$12 showers at the truck stops

Would give anybody motivation that you must not lose this

One shot...

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh

But I like to keep some things to myself

I like to keep my issues strong

It's always darkest before the dawn

(Demon days) evil nights  (countin' hours) frequent flights

(God flow) people strife  (hear it once) speak it twice

Hearts never break even, and they change colour like seasons

Backs turn like treason  but somehow you swear you ain't leavin'

Follow me now, follow me now

Spoonfuls of sugar and handfulls of medicine help it go down

Help it go down, help it go down

I was just a fool in a room full of innocents, look at me know

Look at me know, look at me know

Feel my words (look at this sound)

Reminiscing on when I was lookin' out on the city

Wishing a million motherfuckers'd give me that crown

Bitch, I run this town...

It's always darkest before the dawn

All of the people out there with me right now...

Raise your motherfuckin' flags...

See this is the beginning... this is ours...

This is Black Flag...
