Lyrics
Landscape
Words: Chris Tocco
Music: Chris Tocco, Todd Staudinger
Lock it up and keep it in boy
You gotta be a man
The only God that I ever knew was the back of my Daddy?s hand
There once was a girl and she took my soul
She didn?t even try
She filled my world so full of color
Well then she bled it dry???..
July was hot as hell
With a shovel in my hand
Breaking rocks and planting trees all over the land
Singing your song in the back of my head
Tearing echos in my brain
She couldn?t take me anywhere
So she took my heart instead
She gave me life
Ooooooo life
Yes she did
Then she took it away??..
Ten years done come and went
And I?m making my own way
Some have come and some have gone
But nothing turns my stare away
Now and then I catch a glimpse
Of the soul I used to be
But twisted games and a hundred names
Have left their mark on me
She gave me life
Life
Yes she did but she took it away
Took it away
Took it away???..
