Sons And Daughters - Flags lyrics

I know You are Another planet miles apart Is it a question of things You really should have cared about? You took a drive, Countries called More than your friends did, they watched you fall And now you've pulled the wires right from the wall Flags Don't ask me how he's doing He's doing fine Set it straight So there is no road left, only water Spent your time hopelessly alone It's no real price to pay anyway Your first letter came,Stressing lines Against the whitening page Trauma type, Saturation stains Flags He went from riches To rags Oh where are my friends? I'm a burden to their hallowed sense When I felt my head came to an end I made promises, promises never kept Your head at night So many thoughts fought for the finish line When there's no beginning Before you're running out of time So hard, to ignore. on my mind from beach to trestle door I'm thinking of you, flat out cold beneath the starboard floor
