Black Tide - O'Brother

I was swallowed in a black tide

Living in a one way line

I hadn’t even tried

Hadn’t even tried

I was swallowed in a black tide

Living in a one way line

I hadn’t even tried

Hadn’t even tried

You were right in the quiet of the storm

(I could not wait)

In the violence that defines us

I was caught in a black tide

Taken on a one way ride

Yours were the hands that guide

Me to realign

Swallowed by a landslide

There was nowhere to hide

I hadn’t even tried

Hadn’t even tried

Caught in a landslide

A daydream paradise

When these worlds collide

We are purified

Taken by a riptide

A wave of cyanide

You were right in the quiet of the storm

(I could not wait)

In the violence that defines us we’re reborn

(I could not wait)

In the violence we’re reborn

In the quiet

I was caught in a black tide

Taken on a one way ride

Hadn’t even tried

I was caught in a black tide

Taken on a one way ride

Hadn’t even tried

You were right in the quiet of the storm

In the violence that defines us we’re reborn
