Rising Appalachia - Scale Down Lyrics

Stand up look around and
Then scale back down too

See I believe in a revolution
I believe it is a hell
I believe in it, take care of it
daily daily on demand because
I am a blacksmith of metal and words
and a sheep that pitch black too

And in this life spun short in the span of things
I believe there's a bit more that we ought to be trying
Cause 500 hundred years ago
when these trees were more dense
And the colors pristine, so the chaos made sense
There was no knowing of loss of a mountain

The whole mountain that I call home
and these same hills roll on and on
Without mention of vanish
or where fools belong and these same mountains
that go to peace
Long before the noose
and now that soon is really gone
now that too is nearly gone
So tell me what have we done as a civilization
to destroy in our own wake
that Metaphorical hand that feeds us
we are trashing our own birthday cake

And I consider myself a skeptic
but I'm optimist in soul
and we are all getting force fed
We are led around like the bull
and he is huge and rageful and somehow subdued
and hauled by those thick rings
So don't you too shut out the filthy, nasty
sticky truth of things
So here we go, get the fuck out your car
walk, it's good for you stop consuming blindly
Get by on what you do have and then scale that down too

Take a long hard look at you
It starts there, we all got a lot to say
about everybody else its our own transgression
that always tends to melt into
Who's fault who's blame who's wrong
but each and everyone of us is doing something

Its too hard, too fast, too long and there's
None but ourselves to make this thing last
none but ourselves to make this thing last
Stand up look around and
Scale that down too
