Born Feral |
We watched you disappearing like a passing bullet |
Up the dirty streets into a nothing day |
We never thought it could be us that you were running away from |
And you were already gone anyway |
Your disappointment it is hard to conceal |
So slow to grow and slower to heal |
It wasn’t that they wanted to chain you down |
It was always that they wanted you to take them with you |
The bubbling streams that flow down the hillside |
Get slow and lost in the great wide plain |
And energy attracts the things that cannot move |
There’s so much that fills the slipstream behind you |
You were never scared of anything |
We thought it was the courage that we all lack |
You gave so much of everything |
You were never much interested in getting it back |
You were born feral — passed from hand to hand like a loaded gun |
Ain’t it hard now — to remember just who you were? |
Bad dreams — of people you last saw years ago |
Still pass before your eyes |
The garage is filled with bits of broken machinery |
Coffee black and knuckles strong |
And they all still turn to look at you |
But no one knows what to do with a wild one |
But courage is not an everlasting spring |
Dry seasons come that you cannot defy |
And it’s not where you run but who you run with |
You’ll be looking for them until the day you die |
You were born feral — passed from hand to hand like a loaded gun |
Ain’t it hard now — to remember just who you were? |
Bad dreams — of places you last saw years ago |
Still pass before your eyes |
