I used to be a better man[00:00:16]

But the regret came and here I am[00:00:24]

I used to walk outside my door[00:00:32]

But I don't go outside anymore[00:00:39]

When will they carry me to my grave[00:01:03]

So I can pay for the things my hands have made[00:01:10]

Two sons will take my body[00:01:18]

And place it in the ground[00:01:21]

And I hope they know to be nothing like me[00:01:26]

No nothing like me[00:01:40]

My Blood is tainted with bitterness[00:01:49]

I want it out I want it out of me[00:01:53]

Oh the taste of my inheritance[00:01:57]

How I have fallen the hills will cover me[00:02:01]

You too will become weak[00:02:05]

You too will become weak[00:02:07]

The trees are green what happens when they turn dry[00:02:20]

The trees are green what happens when they turn dry[00:02:27]

We chose our words and threw them towards the sky[00:02:34]

The trees were green now they have all turned dry[00:02:41]

There was a bird[00:04:53]

Whose wings were crushed by a windshield[00:04:56]

So fast to the ground[00:05:02]

The roadside it found as it's eyes closed[00:05:05]

I heard the driver say as she pulled away[00:05:12]

What could I have done The worst is over[00:05:17]

I thought to myself with risk to our health[00:05:22]

No one ever offers me help[00:05:26]

When we were boys[00:06:18]

We chased through neighbors' fields[00:06:21]

We could run forever and I swore to my friends[00:06:23]

Their lives I would defend as a superhero[00:06:30]

But age finds the lust and gives it your trust[00:06:37]

And begs your devotion in trade for discretion[00:06:42]

The years play out as days as those friends pass away[00:06:47]

But you are taken care of there is always television[00:06:51]
