Black Flag

A year in the hole had taken its toll when I took a good look at me
And what a surprise the scope of my eyes could only see black
And I remember someone who was taking them two by two
And lately I'd become the one who'd have laughed at you too

There was a black flag on my morning
There was a black flag on my day
There was a black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again
Black flag, black flag

I walked in the day, my usual way looking through a two by four
It colored my view, I couldn't see you or maybe I just wouldn't
And I remember the time when the sunlight fell on my head
And lately I'd become a member of the walking dead

There was a black flag on my morning
There was a black flag on my day
There was a black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again...

And I know that I was wrong it was up to me
If I wanted to see

And I remember the day when I saw the mask on my face
And I knew that it was time to put the thing in its place

I'd put the black flag on my morning
I'd put the black flag on my day
I'd put the black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

Black flag on my morning
Black flag on my day
I'd put the black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

Black flag on my morning
Black flag on my day
I'd put the black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again, it was up to me
And I know that I was wrong
