The Bruises - National Anthem Lyrics

With one foot on the brake
I conquer my mistakes
Though the lights are turning red
And the batteries are dead

Stand for the National Anthem

I can't trust my own brain
And the things it tells me to say
But there's something in our hearts
We won't let it tear us apart

Stand for the National Anthem

If there's something you despise
In the broken mirror's eyes
Let the blood drip down your face
And look out through the distant space

Stand for the National Anthem

We celebrate the end
And the world just turns again
But there's nothing left to fear
Because the future's already here

Stand for the National Anthem

Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward
Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward
Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward
Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward
Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward
Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward

Goodbye it was so good to see you
(Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward)
Goodbye it was so good to see you
(Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward)
Goodbye it was so good to see you
(Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward)
Goodbye it was so good to see you
(Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward)
Goodbye it was so good to see you
(Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward)
Goodbye it was so good to see you
(Every time that I move forward, I just fall a little bit backward)
