"The New National Anthem" lyrics - PIERCE THE VEIL

PIERCE THE VEIL
"The New National Anthem"
(Tom Denney / Vic Fuentes)

Drag my hand behind you like a chain behind a truck
Sparks over your carpet while I chase you through the darkness

[Pre-Chorus:]
Somebody's supposed to fall in love, but nobody even calls
Somebody's supposed to

[Chorus:]
Tear this place apart until you find me hiding, silently I wait
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay

Summer and gold throw their colors at the dark
A mother tells her son, "Darling, look at the sparks"
But you hold my attention without even trying
A beautiful reflection from firework eyes
But never means forever
Desperation and hanging in the backyard at night

[Pre-Chorus:]
Somebody's supposed to fall in love

[Chorus:]
Tear this place apart until you find me hiding, silently I wait
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay

[Post-Chorus:]
Love, don't forget to bleed (So slowly)

[Bridge:]
Haunted hearts, we melt over the fabric of your floor
I'm holding her just like she's gold, but I've been running from the sun
Oh, no, no
And if I ever catch the ones who hurt you, I
I'm hoping that God looks away this time
So, why would I let you go? (Why would I let you go?)
(Let you go)

[Chorus:]
Tear this place apart until you find me hiding, silently I wait
You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay
