Raise The Flag

[Chorus: Florence Welch & mgk] Regrets collect like old friends Here to relive your darkest moments I can see no way, I can see no way And all of the ghouls come out to play And every demon wants his pound of flesh But I like to keep some things to myself I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn (Kells, uh) [Verse 1: mgk] All these pretty lights Can't you see 'em?
