I insist it wasn't always like this I saw the sun shine red in the grass With every fiber vibrating alive So I lie down and lower my eyes Until the sun fell low in the yard Feeling the territory coming down Then I'm out I don't hear the sound And I know I'm lost wherever I walk now And I'm walkin' outside, nothing feels good Take a blue meander into the woods Where nothing's shining like I feel like it should And the birds singing dissident tunes Singing the sadness of the afternoon And all the distance I'm hearing it through And then I'm out 'Cause I don't hear the sound And I know I'm lost wherever I walk without I'm bowing down now through the flora I'm bending down to the floor now And I'm dreaming, don't worry I'm praying now To the forest To the flora To the floor now
