Crush n war

And we’ll leave it all behind

This war of nadir contrition

and this country we’ve fallen out of love with

What is a nation anyway?

A label of physical ambition

Flushed with confetti of pride and delusion

I wanna love man more

but what surrounds is hopeless and obnoxious

So take my hand and we’ll leave it tonight

We’ll jump into the unknown

Where I’ll hope so hard that

we’ll fall into grace

Where I’ll be afraid of your beauty

and you’ll appreciate my diligence

There we’ll grow sophisticated together

and I hope I will see you in your best Sunday dress

There I can hope

With peace in mind

yes, I can hope.
