Goats In Trees

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well I was caught inside the wreck

Never found my way out,

I was filled with indifference.

The animals they were getting tired

So I sang them a song,

'cause they promised not to take too long.

Well I can't find my way back home

I'll listen to you if you want me to

But you have to share a smoke.

Yeah, I've been running against the wind

And I can hear the angels calling

The madness has been pulling me.

Right back out my stride,

I feel the change in the rising tide

And blood's in the room

I buried all my wrongs there with my youth.

(Don't give up on me now)

I'm on the outside

(Don't give up on me now)

and I'm falling apart

Woo yeah

Well pleased to meet you excuse my hands

I've been bitten by an enemy that's pretended

To be my friend

No, I never wanted to be like them

I thought I was just too clever to be brought down to their level

Of misfortune chagrin.

I don't care now what its worth

But if you lift this burden off my back

I'll follow you to the bloody end.

I've lived my life the way I want

But no one can tell me they're not afraid

Of the freedom of deliverance.

Will I take it all in stride?

I feel the change in the rising tide.

And someone's in the room,

I buried all my guilt in there with my youth.

(Don't give up on me now)

And I'm on the outside

(Don't give up on me now)

It's warm on the outside

(Don't give up on me now)

That's a lie, I don't wanna fall apart

Yeah, well me,I've been afraid

I clawed and I fought like hell

The darkest days upon you

Yeah, well me, I'm gonna stray

My blood was turned to sand

The darkest days upon you

Yeah, well me, I've been afraid

The numbness was getting closer

The feverish days upon you

Yeah
