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