White Flag Between Our Teeth

[Verse 1] Mud on our tongues Names on our sleeves Half gone You breathe like each breath Could still be your last one I taste iron and dust Bitten nails Bloody skin You lunge I stumble We circle We drag our ghosts in [Chorus] We got teeth We got hands We got nothing but the banner and the sand Clawing at a war that already left the ground We keep pulling Keep pulling This white flag down [Verse 2] Your knuckles are cracked Mine split on your chin We fall in the trench Same earth on our skin You curse in your tongue I answer in mine But the hunger to hurt Feels almost like staying alive [Chorus] We got teeth We got hands We got nothing but the banner and the sand Clawing at a war that already left the ground We keep pulling Keep pulling This white flag down [Bridge] [voices softer Almost whispering] Is there radio somewhere Crying rusted news? Did somebody sign something That never reached these boots? Your grip on the fabric My grip on the edge What if we let go together And see what’s left? (oh) [Chorus] We got teeth We got hands We got nothing but the banner and the sand Clawing at a war that already left the ground We keep pulling Keep pulling This white flag down [Outro] Your forehead to mine Breath warm Sharp with fear We loosen our jaws Let the old flag disappear Empty fingers Open palms No orders No sound Two enemies waiting For a word that never comes around
