Lights Out - Division Day

I blacked out Saturday

And burned that blood away

And scrawled that image out

The boat flies up and out

And I was only eight

I woke up underweight

My eyes vermilion

My skin all starved for sun

I blacked out Saturday

And burned that blood away

My covers kept me in the bed

And if I could have, I’d have said

But the words weren’t coming out

Or the words were coming out wrong

And the first thing I could shout was

Up, up, up, up, out

The violence, the tumble down-down

The lights out, the lights out

The broken-once-I-shook-so-far

The killing off, the killing off

The violence, the tumble down-down

The lights out, the lights out

Fall, fall

So I loosed the covers up

And I shook the door right off

Yeah, I loosed the covers up

And I shook the door right off

But the words weren’t coming out

Or the words were coming out wrong

And the first thing I could shout was

Up, up, up, up, out

The violence, the tumble down-down

The lights out, the lights out

The broken-once-I-shook-so-far

The killing off, the killing off

The violence, the tumble down-down

The lights out, the lights out

Fall, fall, fall, it’s so, fall, it’s so
