[Verse 1]
If we reach up as the waters climb in us
The hardest parts blind to reason
Losing sight of what's to come
Below or what's above
Fall in our ray, keep all that sun below us
Send up your haze

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

[Post-Chorus]
I'll take the desert, you take the coast
But to each his own
I'll take the desert

[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
Why'd you spend your time leading the chorus
When the war was just waiting before us?
As if you didn't know
You ignored all the darkest of warnings
Found our end in the silence of morning
It fell beneath the cold

[Post-Chorus]
I'll take the desert, you take the coast
But to each his own
I'll take the desert, you take the coast
But to each his own

[Outro]
Ohh, oh-oh, oh
Ohh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Ohh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
