Lyrics

I’m traveling on tree trunks,
Leaves are falling from my eyes
I’m pulling up roots
While the ground around me dies
I’m headed down the valley
Where I can feel some sun on my face
Nothing thrives in the shadow
Cast o’er this place

I can’t get out unmolested
I raise my voice to protest it
But secrets deep and ancient settle in the crack
I’m leaving here with a mountain on my back

The air once was sweet as ether
Intoxicating as wine
Now it burns my throat
Leaves a bad taste behind

I can’t get out unmolested
I raise my voice to protest it
But secrets deep and ancient settle in the crack
I’m leaving here with a mountain on my back
I’m leaving here with a mountain on my back
I’m leaving here
I’m leaving here
I’m leaving here with a mountain on my back
