If we reach up as the waters climb in us
The hardest parts, blind to reason
Lose the sight of what's to come
Below or what's above

Fall in the rain, keeping the sun below us
Set away your hate

And oh
Why'd you spend your time leading the chorus
When the war was just waitin' before us
As if you didn't know, oh-oh-oh
You ignored all the darkest of warnings
Found our end in the silence of morning
It fell beneath the cold

I'll take the desert and you take the coast
But to each his own
I'll take the desert

If we reach up as the waters climb in us
The hardest parts, of your silence
Tried to mark the fallen snow
We'll leave you here

You know
Why'd you spend your time leading the chorus
When the war was just waitin' before us
As if you didn't know, oh-oh-oh
You ignored all the darkest of warnings
Found our end in the silence of morning
It fell beneath the cold

I take the desert and you take the coast
But to each his own
I take the desert and you take the coast
But to each his own
