A year in the hole
Had taken it's 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 2 by 2
And lately I've become
The one who'd have laughed at you too!!
Chorus:
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!!
I walked in the day
My usual way
Looking through a 2X4
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
Chorus:
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
Solo
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 it's place
Chorus:
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
(repeat twice)
It was up to me
And I know that I was wrong
