The song "Broken Branch" by Circling Birds

lyrics

I've got an army of Devils on my left shoulder
and they're digging into me
Hell, they're fortifying...they're fortifying.
I've got an angel perched on my right shoulder
and she don't know what the hell to make out of me.
Can you blame her, man? I'm a broken branch.
In between them, there's a little slice of heaven
and a dozen acres of Hell's own backyard.
I know you dig it, man but can you plow it?
Someday they'll all drop off of me like so much forbidden fruit
and that'll suit me just fine
as long as that angel revisits me from time to time.

I'm a Broken Branch
Don't you put your weight down upon me.
'Cause I'll snap off.
Yeah, man, I'll snap off.

I sure as hell ain't no place for a tire swing
much less a celestial reckoning.
So, get off my yard.
They're all trying to make a mountain
out of my...my molehill
And all ll I know is that I'm still fighting it.
I'm going down swingin'...I'm goin' down...I'm going down.
'Cause my chicken wire cares more about guarding my garden
than about your so-called right of way.
You ain't got no right of way here, son.
'Cause I sure as hell ain't no place for a tire swing
much less a celestial reckoning.
Get off my yard.

'Cause I'm a Broken Branch
Don't you put your weight down upon me.
'Cause I'll snap off
Yeah, man, I'll snap off.

about

Circling Birds Indianapolis, Indiana

Circling Birds is the result of three guys who have been playing music together since they were teenagers.

The "Circling Birds" sound is a chaotic yet familiar one. Wanting to capture the energy of the riff-driven rock of the 70's, they then sprayed all manner of influences onto the music. Country, Jazz, Modern experimental.

In a nutshell, Circling Birds brings the "Nasty" back to music.
