lyrics

I've seen and done a lot in my time
Somethings that would make your eyes go blind
Reject the world for nothing at all
Reject the light for darkness' fall

I trembled, I fell.
I trembled, I fell, I wept.
I trembled, I fell, and I wept.
I regret ever going back.

I've seen the sky turn black
As the horizon boiled the clouds
A last gasp for air choked by red
I've seen the living walk over the dead

If we keep singing
Our black water song
Before long
We just might make it out

I remember the day it finally rained
We took off our jackets
And stripped off our flak
I remember the day it finally rained
But when the sky fell
It was black

I remember on my first day home
It decided again to rain
I walked outside
And let it soak into my clothes
I remember saying
I'm not going back again
