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