Boy & Bear - Back Down The Black lyrics

'Cause you're hurting I can tell by the way that you move You got your head on your chest and your chest in your mouth You don't look so good There'll be change 'Cause this one's too big not to see But brother you're scared and I'm scared when you're scared 'Cause you ain't supposed to be So I'll scream out loud Won't you get out my way 'Cause I got the animal I got the beast on a leash these days So you don't go wondering back down the black to that awful place And help is well on it's way And You taught me too much to sit back and watch you this way Just to watch you this way There's a light sound that comes around Like a raven in flight A shivering child as the car windows left open overnight And I watched it light up the moon again And I watched it all disappear Oh tether of life won't you shepherd me home again dear So I scream out loud Won't you get out my way 'Cause I got the animal I got the beast on a leash these days So you don't go wondering back down the black to that awful place 'Cause help is well on it's way, You taught me too much to sit back and watch you this way And I've been back down the black now before And I won't watch you this way No I won't watch you this way And oh, my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you Like you would do too And oh, my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you Like you would do too And oh, my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you Like you would do too And oh, my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you Like you would do too
