Forever Half Mast - Lucy Dacus

I’m takin' back roads all the way back home

Everything I’ve done, just a little lovely crow

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 throw 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

Off you run and run for more

Nobody escaped before

Wait for something magical

Mistake turn into miracle
