Smooth stones have fallen once out a sky night like rain I'm outside on the lawn, getting beaten black and blue again Lookin' back now I always child my enemies to my friends It always just seemed logical, like something constant, upon you can depend If my father was an earthquake, now my mother was a hurricane Me I've kinda got my full, just walkin' in a straight line, remembering my own name
(Chorus) I was born in the trees around my Bled fire out the eyes of the sky The snapped, beneath your feet and every thing that was alive that died I was born to a cold wind, the color right out of your eyes I just what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind
I heard stories of those city lights as I head out among them Bows bendin' like a spider web, and no in for the eye to see Five flies in the summer with the downward pressure of the heat I sneak down gravel at night till your black eye's hotter than the Tennessee concrete
(Chorus) I was born in the trees my home Bled fire out the eyes of the sky The world snapped, beneath feet and every thing that was alive that died I was born to a cold wind, take the word out of your mouth and color right out of eyes I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the behind I just keep what I can carry now, and the rest behind
to go there's a heavy load, watch the human car castle fall apart Ill you right now it's more about the stomach out here than it is about the heart See a man now playing in a caf with everybody's back turned we've just gotta put our hands into the fire, make sure that it still burns Red light in downtown Bart pulls out and puddles on his feet I know that of you out there are starving, but it ain't for lack of something to eat
(Chorus) I was born in the trees my home Bled fire out the eyes of the sky The world snapped, beneath your feet and every that was alive that died I was to a cold wind, take the color right out of your eyes Just keep what you can now, and leave the rest behind Just what you can carry now, and leave the rest behind
