Captain

[Verse 1]
Captain, we're falling down
But we won’t let the flag touch the ground
Bullets rip the skin off of our hand
We feel the breath of the wind and the tongues of the flames

[Chorus]
But I saw chaos in color with oceans of red
To be without victor or valor is the most unusual thing
If beating hearts are broken, then why can I bring you back to life again?

[Verse 2]
Brothers sitting out front and staring at the sky
‘Til Smoke clouds fill the air and blind their eyes
Their Mother calls to bring them back inside
Comforted by the refuge she provides

[Chorus]
She says, “I saw chaos and color with oceans of red
Right outside of my living room window
In the place where I live
They always tell you to stay calm in situations like this”

[Verse 3]
And I'm sure they're gonna put it in some history book
For some kid just to overlook it
And everybody's doing their part and taking their place
Passing the baton on the human race
And every generation makes the same mistakes
