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 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



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
