lyrics

keep yourself out of my backyard
won’t even let you get that far
you wanna come cut down my tree
you’re gonna have to come cut down me

gonna have to tell you now to step right back
I won’t be counting to ten
I got my head screwed on real tight higher than the cloud line
but nobody’s here for good

we come from the Earth
we bloom
we wilt
and we don’t even know
we’re falling from the branch

mankind’s gonna shrink and die
probably blow ourselves to the sky
we think we run it but at most this planet’s our hostess
and we won’t be Her guests for good

we came from the dirt
evolved, devolved
now we’re grasping for life
and falling from the branch

evolution’s do come full circle
look for it
the season’s we’re selling will come back around

follow the sound
of truth coming down
degrade in the desert
flake in the forrest
waste in the wind
