O’Brother
Black Tide
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
You were right in the quiet of the storm
(I could not wait)
In the violence that defines us

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
You were right in the quiet of the storm
(I could not wait)
In the violence that reminds us we’re reborn
(I could not wait)
In the violence we’re reborn
In the quiet

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
You were right in the quiet of the storm
In the violence that defines us we’re reborn
