Color Guard by Balboa (band) Lyrics

This tired imagery of purity bled dry
Patriotism framed, slicing through the gray
A chill hangs in the air
From this open window

We see a cold asphalt
A blue turned to ice
Sew my mouth shut to keep the words from falling out
Cast the stones of silence

The irony
Of glory and red blood
Count the stars that shine
On fifty reasons why this sigh
Is more than just a breath
Holding the weight of the world
In conquered space
Cleared by the death in trying

This tired imagery of purity bled dry
Patriotism framed, slicing through the gray
A chill hangs in the air
From this open window
The irony of glory and red blood
Count the stars that shine on fifty reasons
Why this sigh is more than just a breath
Holding the weight of the world in conquered space
In conquered space, cleared by the death in trying
Cleared by, cleared by the death in trying

Drape me
Hide me away
From this atrocity
Sew my mouth shut
To keep the words from falling
Onto the dead and hallowed ground
