Name: Flag Day
Duration: P00H03M48S
Description: All the lyrics were adapted from my 'Apocalypse' series (stream-of-consciousness writing devised to make it look like I was paying attention in math class). Honestly, I'm rather fond of the holiday itself, but the minor key dictated it being a rotten Flag Day.

about

All the lyrics were adapted from my 'Apocalypse' series (stream-of-consciousness writing devised to make it look like I was paying attention in math class). Honestly, I'm rather fond of the holiday itself, but the minor key dictated it being a rotten Flag Day.

lyrics

Nightfall, an exhibition
Flinching for malnutrition
Interruptions bountiful in bags
Every house lined with a flag

Jaundice and necrophilia
Oozing with memorabilia
Starving inane passage anyway
This was a rotten Flag Day

Ozone angel passageway
Premonitions shield the bay
Whispered lessons of the sage
Consenting Mayan promenade

Sudden newfound decision
Unconscious television
Rose is rose is a rosary
You made a flag just for me

Headwounds fade and start to pray
Comprehending alleyways
Zaire ended Saturday
Drastic bread on hit parade

Ennui and amputated nights
Nonchalance marked the many fights
Victories rolled in the hay
This was a rotten Flag Day

This was a rotten Flag Day
