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

I walked in the day, my usual way,
Looking through a 2 by 4
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

And I know that I was wrong
