White Feather

Lyrics for White Feather

In a field in Ohio I change into a scarecrow's clothes To learn some of the secret songs he knows I ran through the day and into the night To be the one doin' the frightenin'; it's freein', I suppose Could be learned behavior To fold and call it failure 'Cause you're terrified of showin' your hand I think you feel safer Mumblin' your prayers To a God you don't understand You don't understand You don't understand In a pool of water, I saw my reflection sink low And a vision of our future rose We're drownin' in diamonds borrowed and charged [?] with no compass, we're a sky with no stars It could be learned behavior To fold and call it failure 'Cause you're terrified of showin' your hand I think you feel safer Mumblin' your prayers To a God you don't understand You don't understand You don't understand Jesus can't stop laughin' If he could he's just start cryin' [?] you hear me, I know you can It's easy to be quiet And easy to be silent When you're 'fraid of what you don't understand What you don't understand What you don't understand I sat back in the grass inside a galaxy of gnats And I let the bats in my brain loose I could see clearly a raven landin' near me Wavin' a white feather, callin' for a truce
