White Flag

Boom goes the grenade, debris crashes to the ground

There's goes my safe zone, took so long to be found.

I'm running through the ruins trying to get away

Barely dodging bullets, when I'm hit by a stray. 

I hit the ground the shots still fly 

And I've nowhere left to hide.

Somethin's gotta give sooner, or later, so until then I've got my white flag up

Nothing lasts forever so once again I'll fill my coffee cup.

Pushed down again so I'll just lay here 

'til all my problems disappear.

I'm not gonna fight as the tide pulls me down

I'm gonna surrender this time around.

I'm barely sleeping and out of friends

All good things must come to an end

My sparks not out, but it's fairly dim

It was a raging fire before I met him

He poured his gasoline over my flame 

A crude distraction for his evil game.

I lost myself for a little while

Allowing his lies to cause my smile

Somethin's gotta give sooner, or later, so until then I've got my white flag up

Nothing lasts forever so once again I'll fill my coffee cup.

Pushed down again so I'll just lay here 

'til all my problems disappear.

I'm not gonna fight as the tide pulls me down

I'm gonna surrender this time around.
