Silence and Loss - Hoist the Colors

Silence and loss don’t you know they go hand in hand

No sense in protecting yourself in a house built on sand

Foundations shift almost every night

So hold your ground it’s gonna be alright

Fighting so hard that your knuckles are swollen and dry

Back’s feeling broken and you just might be losing your mind

Ten deep breaths and it starts again

So face this world, to struggle can’t be a sin

No days won’t stop and wait

They’ll leave you on a whim

Your boat’s gonna sail away

It’s time to sink or swim

Sink or swim

We’ll all be caught dead or alive

Let’s take the world tonight

Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright

No days won’t stop and wait

They’ll leave you on a whim

Your boat’s gonna sail away

It’s time to sink or swim

Sink or swim

We’ll all be caught dead or alive

The damage is done but there’s no sense in wondering how

You lost your own way in the end you’ve got to be here right now

Slowly get up and get back on your feet

And face this world if you want to be free

You know you want to be free

Let’s take the world tonight

Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
