Um, How bout a National Anthem, or something like that??

V6

[Verse 1] I am standing on the precipice of nothing much at all Just a silhouette against a fluorescent hospital wall I scribbled down a manifesto on the back of my hand About the modern exhaustion of trying to understand [Pre-Chorus] And the static hums a steady note A heavy weight against my throat [Chorus] So raise the standard, let it tear against the gale For every quiet ship that never set its sail Let the sirens wail a symphony of doubt and grace We are the crownless kings of this forgotten place This is our anthem, ringing hollow, loud, and true To everything we almost were, and never meant to do [Verse 2] The monuments are crumbling into parking lot debris While we look for something sacred in a cup of cold black tea There's a quiet sort of dignity in refusing to pretend That we know where the road is or how it's gonna end [Pre-Chorus] And the static hums a steady note A heavy weight against my throat [Chorus] So raise the standard, let it tear against the gale For every quiet ship that never set its sail Let the sirens wail a symphony of doubt and grace We are the crownless kings of this forgotten place This is our anthem, ringing hollow, loud, and true To everything we almost were, and never meant to do [Bridge] We are the earthquake underneath the floorboards of the state Built entirely of hesitation, poetry, and fate You can keep your grand processions, we have nothing left to prove We're the immovable object that finally decided to move [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Build] [Chorus] So raise the standard, let it tear against the gale For every quiet ship that never set its sail Let the sirens wail a symphony of doubt and grace We are the crownless kings of this forgotten place This is our anthem, ringing hollow, loud, and true To everything we almost were, and never meant to do [Outro] Let the flags drop. Let the drums fade out. We were never marching anywhere... Except perhaps back home.
