Eric Mayson Red Circles
(Hook)
The red circles around my ankles don't bleed
No more
I planted calluses that grew around them
'Cause I know what I'm in for
Spent so much time suspended
From that big, old tree
With my head in the ground
And my feet in the stars
I've got nothing but sky
I've got nothing
(Verse 1)
I like the name you gave me
And I appreciate
All the company
The food and the drinks
But this ain't the kind of animal that you can give a name
It's not a creature that you can train
So don't look it in the eyes it's not your friend
And it doesn't owe you anything
And I don't owe you anything
So I'll be building a boat
A bombastic bitch of a barge to bear
Meet the brighter seas
And there I'll be
At least for a time
There will be an effigy
The people lament be
It's people we never see
No we never see
Keep calling way from me
Keep calling, keep calling way from me
(Hook)
All of the red circles, around my ankles don't bleed no more
I planted calluses around
'Cause I know what I'm in for
Spent so much time suspended
From that big, old tree
With my head in the ground
And my feet in the stars
I've got nothing but skies
I've got nothing
