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
