Matthew Good - A Silent Army In The Trees

Matthew Good

A Silent Army In The Trees

What will you find, where will you be
When you've got to trade for company
Those plastic guns and infantry
For a silent army in the trees?
Well, this ain't the woods behind the house
There ain't nobody screaming out
For you to come inside and eat
You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed

Wore camouflage on Halloween
A plastic bag, an M-16
Door to door and house to house
But there ain't nobody handing it out
Yeah, nothing's ever what it seems
When you're kicking in teeth and wishing you had dreams
Just plastic guns and infantry
For a silent army in the trees

Now, baby, don't you let me down
A world away and still somehow
Can't shake the feeling that you're out
With another man's arms wrapped tight around you

At night it's cold, we sit and freeze
Running red lights in our Humvees
Never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be
Afraid of little kids playing in the streets
Well this ain't the woods behind the house
There ain't nobody screaming out
For you to come inside and eat
You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed

I'm on fire
But all ice on the outside
That old man in the sky
Well, he's all ice on the outside

A muted wail out in the streets
You watch the stage but burn the seats
Two metal legs to get along
You ain't got much without one to stand on
Sometimes at night I hear it roll
A hundred cars long, pulling out slow
Like the engineers inside my head
Cold and dark like your side of the bed
Yeah, nothing's ever what it seems
And even if it is, ends justify means
With plastic guns and infantry
For a silent army in the trees

I'm on fire
But all ice on the outside
That old man in the sky
Well, he's all ice on the outside

Mirror lyrics:

Well, he's all ice on the outside
That old man in the sky
But all ice on the outside
I'm on fire

For a silent army in the trees
With plastic guns and infantry
And even if it is, ends justify means
Yeah, nothing's ever what it seems
Cold and dark like your side of the bed
Like the engineers inside my head
A hundred cars long, pulling out slow
Sometimes at night I hear it roll
You ain't got much without one to stand on
Two metal legs to get along
You watch the stage but burn the seats
A muted wail out in the streets

Well, he's all ice on the outside
That old man in the sky
But all ice on the outside
I'm on fire

You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed
For you to come inside and eat
There ain't nobody screaming out
Well this ain't the woods behind the house
Afraid of little kids playing in the streets
Never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be
Running red lights in our Humvees
At night it's cold, we sit and freeze

With another man's arms wrapped tight around you
Can't shake the feeling that you're out
A world away and still somehow
Now, baby, don't you let me down

For a silent army in the trees
Just plastic guns and infantry
When you're kicking in teeth and wishing you had dreams
Yeah, nothing's ever what it seems
But there ain't nobody handing it out
Door to door and house to house
A plastic bag, an M-16
Wore camouflage on Halloween

You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed
For you to come inside and eat
There ain't nobody screaming out
Well, this ain't the woods behind the house
For a silent army in the trees?
Those plastic guns and infantry
When you've got to trade for company
What will you find, where will you be
