I See the Flags (and I Like the Color)
[Intro] [Verse 1] You keep a ledger of your lovers’ little lies, a first-edition folio of alibis, Each dog-eared entry, a testament to trust’s decay, But you narrate the index with such a charming, wry dismay. Your temper’s a kaleidoscope, a sudden, fractured light, Refracting rage and tenderness in the span of a single night. They call it instability, a pattern to deconstruct, I call it avant-garde, the way your moods conduct. A symphony of symptoms, a beautifully flawed design, And darling, your particular brand of chaos chimes with mine. [Pre-Chorus] The self-help gurus preach of harbors, placid and serene, But I've always found my solace in a more tempestuous scene. Their well-adjusted wisdom, a lullaby so bland, Can’t match the thrilling dissonance of the storm held in your hand. [Chorus 1] Oh, I see the flags, all crimson and so clear! But I like the color, it banishes all fear. It's the shade of authenticity in a world of beige pretense, A beautiful disorder, making perfect, twisted sense! This isn't blindness, no, it's vision, sharp and keen, I see the flags, and I like the vibrant sheen! [Verse 2] Your childhood anecdotes, a Freudian delight, A textbook case of "things that go bump in the psyche's night." You trace the fault lines in your character with such meticulous art, A cartographer of damage, charting every broken part. We analyze our dialogues with a post-mortem grace, Finding the toxic tendrils, the patterns we embrace. Is it repetition compulsion? A script we can't unlearn? Or just a shared aesthetic for the bridges that we burn? Your lack of empathy’s a feature, not a bug, it’s understood, Like a rare, endangered species, tragically misunderstood. [Pre-Chorus] The therapists all shudder, friends avert their weary gaze, Another chapter in our beautifully broken, Escher-staircase maze. My sanity's a rumor, your love's a cherished, aching wound, In this shared delirium, my truest north I have attuned. [Chorus 2] Oh, I see the flags, they're a vibrant, burning hue! And I like the color, reflects me, reflects you! It's the tint of raw existence, no filter, no disguise, A glorious catastrophe, mirrored in our eyes! This isn't madness, darling, it's a curated, conscious spree, I see the flags, and they look like home to me! So, call it trauma bonding, a Freudian pas de deux! Call it folie à deux with a rather fetching view! Call it Nietzsche’s amor fati – to love the tangled fate the beautiful destruction, sealing our soul’s gate! They prattle on of "healthy," of "stable," and "secure," But their vanilla virtues are so dreadfully demure! Their "normal" is a narrative, a carefully constructed lie A muted watercolor beneath a vast and empty sky! Give me the grand inferno, the operatic crash, The kind of love that leaves you with a fascinating psychic rash! A love that knows its wreckage, that wears its scars with pride, Where all the warning signals are the features we don't hide! It’s not about the damage, it’s the artistry within, The exquisite, awful beauty of where the cracks begin! So let them wave their little pamphlets, their five-step plans to peace, Our kind of love’s a masterpiece that finds in flaws release! [Chorus 3] So let them wave, these flags of mine, of yours, this vibrant, fatal sign! I love the color, let it bleed! It’s the only truth I'll ever need. In this grand opera of our beautiful, beautiful, beautiful decline! This isn't sickness, it's a choice, a resonating, vibrant voice! I see the flags, and I rejoice, I truly, madly, deeply rejoice! [Outro] Well, that was fun. Goodbye!
