Lyrics:
Cardinal crashed into my window; I think he might die. I'll plan him a funeral.
I'll read his last rites because I know what he saw. In that reflection of light on the glass was a better life.
Staring at a hole in your chest that's been dug there for decades: American broken promises.
Caught between the lies you've been fed and a war with your bloodstream. I should have been there when you needed a friend.
I was off on my own again, selfish and stupid. If you call me back or let me in, I swear, I'll never let you down again.
I know the devil you've been fighting with. I swear I'll never let you down again.
I had that nightmare again; you're seven and helpless, angry as hell and you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings and I beat you half-conscious.
I know that I failed you. Woke up in a sweat. I want those years back. We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers.
