Who I Was

It was then, by the river when the moon in light lit the smoke off the cinders

You should have known

First a crack, then a crumble

And the traffic moan

You should have known then who i was.

And the sun, opened up just like confetti,

And somewhere in that moment you should have known.

And the world all burned up just like gasoline.

You should have known then who i was.

It was then the dust settled and the rain that came

Killed the flame from the kettle you should have known.

There are some things still blacker than a lack of light.

You should have known then who i was.

And the chord that was struck was unraveling.

At the sound of it fading

You should have known.

And the peace between us was battling.

You should have know then who i was.
