Vigilantes Of Love - Half Mast lyrics

Who would have ever thought It would come to this Who would have ever thought You would betray it with a kiss And the days bleed into others And nights they look the same The empty gla** it holds no answers And the mirrors are all full of shame The thoughts they turn in circles Stomachs tied in knots These memories all lead back to you And you are what I have not got The lie is that it happens Always to someone else The line you crossed no turning back And who on earth could ever tell The flag is stuck at half-mast It's been that was for awhile Put to bed the old dreams And rearrange your smile I'm turning off the tv set I did not need this my love Your thick and heavy farewell note Well I need something to thin the blood Main street is never on the map In the bars where you now dream And last call is but a whisper Where eternity should be screaming A sinner's worthless currency A psalmist's sad lament The prophets are without vision And the shepherds are way too content I'm opening the window up Room is spinning black my love And all I have is this farewell note Well I need something to thin the blood
