[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
Tragedy (Tragedy)
Erased my memory (Erased my memory)
And now all I see
Is this black rain
Oh, tragedy (Tragedy)
You took my everything (You took my everything)
Oh, now all I feel
All I feel is pain
Oh, how can I go on
Knowing that I lost you?
Where did I go wrong?
Where did you run off to?
Lost down here, broken and alone

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I went and searched for some answers
But all I found were monsters
They're under my bed
They're haunting this tie that's been severed
This tie that's been severed
Now I follow your footsteps
Through the ashes you once crept
I feel so hollow now
I'm trapped on this island
This island of regret

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
Tragedy (Tragedy)
Erased my memory (Erased my memory)
And now all I see
Is this black rain
Oh, tragedy (Tragedy)
You took my everything (You took my everything)
Oh, now all I feel
All I feel is pain
Oh, how can I go on
Knowing that I lost you?
Where did I go wrong?
Where did you run off to?
Lost down here, broken and alone

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
They left a note on the front door
With a time and a place as the tears poured from my eyes
Straight to the floor, there was no going back once we knew what they came for
And all I have here is heartache
And bones, and mirrors for me to break
Only so much bad luck a person can take
We quiver and quake, we shiver and shake

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
Tragedy (Tragedy)
Erased my memory (Erased my memory)
And now all I see
Is this black rain
Oh, tragedy

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
