F L A G // B U R N E R Lyrics by Martha

Please Don’t Take Me Back

2022

[Verse 1]
I was blessed to see you smile
As the kindling sparked and smouldered
Watching holes burned in the fabric
Of a symbol of the state
You looked like you did before
With more lines from growing older
There is no one I would rather
Light this fire with today
Still resisting every urge to run and hide
'Cause it's more fun when the danger's amplified
[Chorus]
Hold the feeling deep inside
As the prayer candle flickers through the night
On thе ceiling, dancing light
Come evangеlize
[Verse 2]
All the prayers they made us say
At those Sunday School recitals
All the lies that we were told
About history that we share
All the shifts we did at work
All the money sent to landlords
All the hopes we had inside
We never brought to bear
I smoked the cigarette that burned the flag
And I loved you more with every single drag
[Chorus]
Hold the feeling deep inside
As the prayer candle flickers through the night
On the ceiling, dancing light
Come convince me all our sins were watertight
Hold the feeling deep inside
Come evangelize
[Outro]
I smoked a cigarette and burned the flag and lit the candle
I smoked a cigarette and burned the flag and lit the candle...
I smoked a cigarette and burned the flag and lit a candle
I lit the candle
I smoked a cigarette and burned the flag and lit a candle
I lit the candle...
Hold the feeling deep inside
As the prayer candle flickers through the night
On the ceiling, dancing light
Come evangelize
