Faith
I've only ever seen your face Under the hue of July 4th You run free as I throw mulch Right into his eyes And you kiss the blood that runs Right down my knees I don't know your favorite color But I've memorized every stick 'n poke Every freckle Every feeling your laugh brings You lit your car on fire And our father called you obscene But what is he? I never sent a letter back But I use the mug you bought me Every single day And I cry as every scratch And wear of time Reminds me of how long it's been Since I've last seen you I hope the military treated you well, Faith And I hope the sunshine state Treats you even better I hope you still have the will To feel it on your face
