backyard fight
music + lyrics by nathan hamer
I don’t mean to put out the fire
I just wanna touch the flame
Oh I’m really making a mess of it all
But there’s no one here to keep me sane
I could write it down in a novel
All the words you want me to say
I’m breaking my head up against the wall
There’s people here willing to pay
It’s a foreign land
There’s a world and you’re not in the middle
I’m sorry but they say it’s true
You could be tied and like a criminal tried
But the world isn’t coming for you
I don’t mean to pop your bubble
I just wanted you to see
Oh it’s the pocketed backwoods sounds
All around that are getting to me
It’s a Foreign Land
Always try to hustle it
Never knowin’ enough
Is it ever really enough
When there’s never really enough
Always try to hustle it
Never knowing enough
Is it ever really enough
If there’s never really enough?
I just want a conversation
I’m always in the corner alone
I can take the separation
But I’m no good at reading your tone
I don’t mean to stir up the trouble
But I don’t want to die for free
You can pay for my eye in a backyard fight
I only need the one to see
It’s a foreign land
