Playing in the Forest

from Two Birds by I, the Mountain

/

lyrics

What have we done to our land?
Cutting pieces off of our own loneliness.
Why do you build those pyramids?
Take a look around and open up your eyelids.

Pre- Chorus
Joey sits down by the pond, waiting for a sign from God,
Shouldn't have ventured in the forest my boy.
The wilderness lies by the shore, away from here the foxes roar,
Take your time, you'll kill it all.

Chorus
Take you time, no need to run, playing in the forest is fun.
Break a branch, wooden gun, playing in the forest is fun.

The grass, it rots underneath our feet,
Our own tar blood running through the street.
We pave her skin, we cut her trees,
Brittle bark covers up the schemes.

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Take your time, take your time.
(Let the fires in the forest burn brightly)
Take your time, take your time.
(Let the grass and the soil bond tightly)

Pre-Chorus
Chorus
