about

to my friends and comrades in Boise

lyrics

I've gotta get out
of the place where the trucks crawl to sleep and wait for the night
I've gotta escape
to the river up north that stares out through the eyes of a snake

If I were left up to my own devices
I’d probably plant trees every day in the sunlight
instead I work to make money to give to my
landlords and bosses who left up to their own devices
drain rivers and clearcut the forests
I don’t think I can still swim in the snake
I always wear black cuz this life is a god damn wake

I’ve gotta get out
of this place where the walls watch each move with their cold glassy eyes
I’ve gotta escape
to the mountains where even the sun hides behind the moons face

i try so hard not to run away
but Ive got to leave this parched haunted bay
the sawtooths they beckon to me

but ghosts follow everywhere
choking out the sweet clean air
there is no where to run
