I brought you tequila and marigolds
To keep you cold and dead
I bathed in the shadows of conceding oaks
And played the gardener in my head

I could still smell those willows our mother loved
For the first time in a million moons
You screaming "faggot" with your hands at my throat
For just tending to my wounds
I was just tending 
To my wounds

I brought you a half sized American flag
With the stars cut out in a cross
I studied deep where your heart should have been 
On that AstroTurf burial plot 

And I remembered that one night out in Tucson 
When you bloodied up Maria just for breaking a plate
Strung out on meth
That bulge in your neck 
Those bloodshot eyes burning through all who'd object

Peace in the land
There will be
Peace in the land

The papers out in Phoenix 
Spoke of your strength
While everybody out here in Yuma
We held our restraint
Because reality is just a fairy tell 
That's passed upon bar stools
The lies are what we build upon
We fight that fact
But we all know it's true

Goodnight Sargent Sanchez
Goodnight brother's breath
Goodnight Sargent Sanchez
Nobody 
Mourns your death
