Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a small town with a long past and an old panopticon
Where the bodies of the screws hang from extension cords
I see a company of crisis actors running lines on the lawn
Making misery porn to warm the halls of ivy
It's the golden age of arseholes and the triumph of disgrace
Howling winds turn cornfields into rags
Yeah, I've seen the cellphone footage and it's raining cats and dogma
You can rob a bank, but you don't really rob the bank
[PreChorus]
'Cause if they lose they win
And all they need's the wind that blows
Where people wave their flags at people waving flags
[Chorus]
Hold me forever
A sign of the cross and the sun
Holding forever
A shadow that we can't outrun
[Verse 2]
It's like being at a party, where the party's always right
And I was not planning on going out tonight
But I'll grab some pepper spray from K-Mart
Chuck a ski-mask in my bag and then scream an incantation
Change the colour of the sky
And admiring my completion in the shop window reflections
I'll go where people wave their flags at people waving flags
You gotta face the hits, roll with the uppercrusts and hunches
Left-rights goodnights and all the other kinds of punches
[PreChorus]
'Cause if you lose you win
And all you need's the wind that blows
Where people wave their flags at people waving flags
[Chorus]
Holding forever
Making a fist of your thumbs
Hold me forever
Don't let them cut out your tongue
[Bridge]
See everybody scream and shout
You don't know what you're missing now
They don't know what they're missing
[Chorus]
Hold me forever
A shadow that we can't outrun
Holding forever
Say you won't block out the sun
[Refrain]
See everybody scream and shout
They don't know what they're missing now
They don't know what they're missing
