Half Staff

From comfort or from love
The outcome can't be doves
Reassurance still blood is shed
But what about the 5 that are dead?
Johnson we had our faith in you
The relapse can't be true

I'm staying fearful
It's tragic american nature

Until that man can pay his debt
There's a weight in the world I think he's carrying
Grateful he's in the aftermath but until he's gone
The flag's halfstaff

Summer of 1968
the convention ends in a riotous rage
The whole world saw the display
What happened here will never fade
Johnson we had our faith in you
The relapse can't be true

Generations have been there
Forgotten in the rear view mirror

Until that man can pay his debt
There's a weight in the world I think he's carrying
Grateful he's in the aftermath but until he's gone
The flag's halfstaff
