The sky is set on strobe, the lightning leaning my direction./ It flashes from the atmosphere seeking true connection./ The earth spins off its axis, scattering the zodiac./ The sky lit up like the lord himself was a pyromaniac,/ The clouds are thick and heavy, the horizon tucked in snug./ The black is blowing fuses, refusing to unplug./ It’s interstellar wildfire, turn the darkness to a lie./ So fly flag, fly your flag, fly your flag high.

The moon is full, my heart is empty/ The stars spell out oblivion, do their best to tempt me./ The wind is ripping rags from the canvas of the sky/ Let it do its worse and fly your flag high. Midnight has come calling, again bearing gifts./ Loneliness and loss trading off in double shifts./ I am the only witness, my solitude my alibi./ I murder melancholy as I fly my flag high.

I’d like to look down on the stars from the opposite perspective./ Get myself so high that my depression turns defective././The stars are flashing morse code frozen in time./ The moon is staring into the distance, practicing pantomime./ The day won’t simply break, it’s bending towards collapse/ As the raging wind gives raucous cheers, lightning lashes, thunder claps./ The darkness is the pupil of an ever twinkling eye./ So fly your flag, fly your flag, fly your flag high.

The moon is full, my heart is empty/ The stars spell out oblivion, do their best to tempt me./ The wind is ripping rags from the canvas of the sky/ Let it do its worse and fly your flag high. Midnight has come calling, again bearing gifts./ Loneliness and loss trading off in double shifts./ I am the only witness, my solitude my alibi./ I murder melancholy as I fly my flag high.

The rain came down so thick, you could swim to the moon. The puddle around my feet my own lonely lagoon./ stared up at the sky until I was wet enough to drown/ I tried to climb a sheet of rain but it kept letting me down./ The sky is tired of bending and is trying hard to break./ To turn the heavens inside out, for a milky way shake./ So drink it in, then shout it out, amen, testify. Fly your flag, fly your flag, fly your flag high.

The moon is full, my heart is empty/ The stars spell out oblivion, do their best to tempt me./ The wind is ripping rags from the canvas of the sky/ Let it do its worse and fly your flag high. Midnight has come calling, again bearing gifts./ Loneliness and loss trading off in double shifts./ I am the only witness, my solitude my alibi./ I murder melancholy as I fly my flag high.

Tomorrow I have got a staring contest with the sun./ I think one of us will end up blind before the duel is done/. I’m hoping if I’m lucky I’ll get evaporated too/ Make me a memory, my ethereal debut/ The moon’s a spotlight searching but I’m impossible to find./ Look up and I am gone leaving only dark behind./ A night sky glowing bares the truth, no wish to falsify./ So fly your flag, fly your flag, fly your flag high.

The moon is full, my heart is empty/ The stars spell out oblivion, do their best to tempt me./ The wind is ripping rags from the canvas of the sky/ Let it do its worse and fly your flag high. Midnight has come calling, again bearing gifts./ Loneliness and loss trading off in double shifts./ I am the only witness, my solitude my alibi./ I murder melancholy as I fly my flag high.
