Текст песни: straightline + перевод

Smooth stones have fallen once more out a sky night like rain

I’m outside on the front lawn, getting beaten black and blue again

Lookin' back now I always preferred child my enemies to my friends

It always just seemed logical

Like something constant, upon which you can depend

If my father was an earthquake, now then my mother was a hurricane

Me I’ve kinda got my hands full

Just walkin' in a straight line, remembering my own name

I was born in the trees around my home

Bled fire out into the eyes of the sky

The world snapped, beneath your feet and every thing

That was alive that died

I was born to a cold wind, take the color right out of your eyes

I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind

I heard stories of those city lights as I head out among them trees

Bows bendin' like a spider web, and no light in for the eye to see

Five flies in the summer skies with the downward pressure of the heat

I sneak down that gravel at night till your black eye’s

Hotter than the Tennessee concrete

I was born in the trees around my home

Bled fire out into the eyes of the sky

The world snapped, beneath your 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 your eyes

I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind

I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind

Clear to go there’s a heavy load, watch the human car castle fall apart

Ill tell you right now it’s more about the stomach

Out here than it is about the heart

See a man now playing in a dark café with everybody’s back turned

Sometimes we’ve just gotta put our hands into the fire

Make sure that it still burns

Red light 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 something to eat

I was born in the trees around my home

Bled fire out into the eyes of the sky

The world snapped, beneath your feet and every thing

That was alive that died

I was born to a cold wind, take the color right out of your eyes

Just keep what you can carry now, and leave the rest behind

Just keep what you can carry now, and leave the rest behind
