Killing Cattle In The Valley

Walking with my eyes closed

I float around this town

A chemical imbalance keeps my thoughts from slowing down

I've been living on a houseboat

I've been there quite some time

I get up every morning just to set my fishing lines

If they ever come here and find me dying, waste no time at all

Just put me down like the dog I am, there ain't no one to call

Besides it seems that all I needed was some time alone

And to put some distance between these symptoms, they're all I've ever known

Burning bridges just to feel alive

Telling stories of the afterlife

Laughing so hard that you start to cry

Demanding attention just to tell a lie

Walking home with the summer heat

Repeating yourself until you cannot speak

Then changing the outcome of everything

And killing cattle in the valley

I'd rather live here then sell my soul

And pass on my knowledge once I get old

A thousand lifetimes

A thousand stories

Returning to the fold

Because I thought you were gonna be the one to make it all go away

And I thought I was changing, but I was only replacing the blame

Burning bridges just to feel alive

Telling stories of the afterlife

Laughing so hard that you start to cry

Demanding attention just to tell a lie

Walking home with the summer heat

Repeating yourself until you cannot speak

Then changing the outcome of everything

And killing cattle in the valley
