Flag with Two Holes

We all want to become the bigger
The Better
The unfettered form of humanity
The Noble
For we are forgotten and unforgiven
The Shame
And we hold our love dear, write it out
The Flag
It holds and venerates all we cling too
The Pride
And we plan to wave it high, so to make a stand
The Joy
And we don't forget that history, that passion
The Passion
But we do forget that flag, that great reason
The Hole
And we pass over our human strength and power
The Dishonor
And claim to know that flag like no other
The Fake
And we begin to make our flag bigger than it should ever be
The Hole
And we have lost our flag, our way
The Loss
And those colors bleed

For Thee

For Lasting Sanity
I watch the shores on sand
Trace the lines in my hand
And wait for God

For Remaining Humanity
I pump blood way too fast
Become strapped to the mast
Dreams only

For Echoing Brutality
I clench my chains
I tear skies from planes
Sweet Explosions

For Lost Causes
I would like to stop
This is the way I drop
I am one
