Message To Me Lyrics - Carbon Leaf

Where, oh, where is that little child that used to play? 

Another turning of the page, another churning of the day 

Are you tired of the same? To much flower dulls the brain 

(Your rhyming's stale again) 

I was hoping to be wise, vision is two real eyes 

I've read a lot of how-to books on how to take action 

(If you would kindly lift the blanket from my eyes) 

Appalachian woman is a century plus old 

Is there something to be said here? Hope you realize 

Few and far between are these rocks to hop 

So set up shop and get to work 

No such thing as a living room 

When you sit around 

Streaked a frozen lake just to test testosterone 

Message to me 

(Did a world of good) 

Lost eleven pounds to the tracks in Ireland 

Never bet on the likes of a horse named Robin Hood 

I would give anything to visit history 

Anything to replant history 

Oh, to dig for parts of me 

Stem to branch-trunk-seed 

Caught the theme of just what life's to be 

The specters speculate 

With their pounding on my head 

They're rattling my bed 

The slumber sucks you in 

I didn't hear from you 

And you and you on my birthday 

Message to me? 

(I'm quite the same way) 

Building new boats instead of raising Titanic's 

What am I trying to say? 

We swim or die, we sink or burn 

We try and fail 

(But try) 

This message sent to me is that 

This picture ain't complete 

Run along, live don't sit around
