Appalachian Scream lyrics

(feltenberger, yashinsky)

We live for the mountains
`cause the mountains give us life
But the pits were too inviting
And they stripped away our lives

If i could holler from this hollow
For just a little help
I`m sure the neighbors would come running
Just to see for them selves

And i don`t give a damn
If you don`t understand

(chorus)
Cause i hear the voices calling
They`re sending me a warning about you
Is it a haunting song from a familiar dream
Or just an appalachian scream

We`re neighbors we`re not friends
I don`t trust them a bit
Call it baseless paranoia
Or the way that we live

We`re all escaping something
But we`re blind to what it is
If i`d turn my back he`d kill me
And i`d do the same to him

And i don`t give a damn
If you don`t understand

(chorus)

I built this shit from nothing
I brought it up with love
Considering what i got now
It`s still not very much

After 20 years time`s forgotten me
And i wish it all the same
But they`re knocking at my neighbors` door
And soon they`ll call my name

(chorus)
