Skunk Lyrics

You took it all into your cherish, with cypress lines to your estate

The fortifiers all have perished, they grabbed ahold and took the bait

And I was one of them, never knew I could go so far

I was free, no wonder I never flew so high

In my dreams, I pictured birds and skunks doing their things

No one was watching them, they found a new meal as they were coming up dry

In search of anything, they found a safe way to play until they died

Just like everything we try to hide

Take all of your compensation, every dime

Bring it all to a demonstration, prance awhile

Look up, you finally made it, to the top

In all of the hesitation, the kids ate your cake and the bandits tried to break into your home

You spend your time dreaming of errands, to occupy the time you've gained

By rushing through the siege of herons, to eat the meat that they've attained

And leave them tatters, the scraps and the left behinds

Of the feast, it's more than they've had for awhile

So it seems, they spend their waking hours feeling the heat

I spend my days inside, waiting for rain to muddy the dirt

And darken everything, one last attempt to try and hide

In search of anything, they found a safe way to play until they died

Just like everything we try to hide
