This Hill
SERPENTWITHFEET Lyrics

I used to stuff myself to the gills
And climb this hill
Then grin when the grass called my step heavy
My way to punish the earth for asking me
to live this long
Some days I wanna run

What is the matter?
What is the matter?
Don't get no sadder

Don't get no sadder

What is the matter?
What is the matter?
Don't get no sadder

I'm better now
I finally cut my giants down
I'm better now
I finally cut my giants down
I'm better now
I'm better now, oh

This hill (hill)
This hill (hill)
Climbing this hill

I'm better now
I'm better now, oh
