Ghoststories - Zozobra

Forget the future
Let's build a past
That we ain't got to forgive
I'll burn my draft card
You'll burn your bra
To light the way for the kids
We'll lie with each other
While patriots gather to tear up the flag
You'll gather the shreds from the fire
While I gather needle and thread
We'll gather our courage and
Make something better than we ever had
We'll sew it together with sequins
And feathers and dress up in drag
If and when I leave you
It's gonna hurt
You won't even know that I'm gone
I helped you build it
And I'll tear it down
I am who I used to be
I grieved my country
I grieved my god
But I ain't gonna make peace
I said
You live by the sword
You'll die by the sword, and that's all I'll say
You winced and you smiled and looked up to nowhere
And said
I'd have it no other way
If and when I leave you
It's gonna hurt
You won't even know that I'm gone
Goodbye
