Bag of Bones 03:01
I got a feeler on me Found it on the road I got up, I got moving Bearing my bag of bones My brother’s a stealer for me He watches till it's time to go My sister got a wrist watch for me Hands tick to and fro And our time moves too slow Not sure what our future holds And under pressure we'll fold Buried with our bag of bones I've got my sleeper on me Wrap up in the cold I've used it too many times That blanket's got a hole
2.
Drain 03:52
I'm staying here All alone in my home Think of thoughts you can't condone I will try To not drown in my feelings When the paint begins peeling You won't stay close You'll run away on any given day and never return Try to speak but words don't come out Here I stand in the shadow of a doubt Our hands will shake like trees in the rain While you're gone, I'll set myself to drain You went away With no trace or explanation Evaporate into the air Never said you'd stay Throwing stones and that's forever The exit was the greatest pleasure Where do I go? I can't just sit around here Breathing in the air and my greatest fear
3.
Come clean, when you talk to me Do you mean what you speak? Why don't you stay away For the last two or three years we’ve been doing fine Why do you have to make things worse? Don’t come searching for help from the ones you hurt I won’t be so forgiving this time Cause what we had is no more and I don’t even mind Coming down, ain’t a valid concept When you’re vengeful and scarce Why in your eyes am I such an easy target? I’m sick and tired of putting up with your shit
4.
Sit down by me Tell me what I know about everything It’s more than you need Someday I’ll be here as you, not me You wouldn’t believe where I’ve been And neither would I I can’t save you, I don't know why Bring me to my knees And I will pick up what you leave Traces that you left in me They bleed out piece by piece Just one more, I sighed I’ll see where this takes me on my own tonight The end was in sight Now endings are the only way to make this right It brought me to my knees As you laid out all of these Traces that were left of me Til I bled out piece by piece
5.
The oil leaks onto the street It reflects rainbows on concrete It gives the chance to burn a path But I'll still throw away the match You let me know this was my day As the match's flame fizzled away The flame still burns inside my home But it's extinguished into the unknown I can't feel the Heat of the moment Time will tell who Will come over it You strike a twelve pack and your pocket burned The smoke arose and you were overturned My point of view was clouded, you could hide Once the smoke clears there'll be no other side Left on my doorstep in the snow Left only to be swallowed whole There's no chance of having this ignite I guess I'll close my eyes tonight There's beauty forming in the streets Vivid colors paint people I won't meet The appearance of one man I can’t tell I was only looking at myself
6.
Do you remember, everything that you could have seen? I bet you haven't At least that's what you told me, about the pictures in your head. The projector is dead Time to replace the reel, find a new spoke on the wheel. Keep it turning The film it came unwound, venture to new worlds/new sounds. And I don't want to talk about it When you won't hear me a bit Maybe I'm not your dearest Wait until you hear from spirits This existential dread, the words I might have said, made their way in the red I can't see too far, I still know who you are. Looking sideways Ten years ago it passed and possibility lasts. Can it be true? What do I owe to this? Ignorance is bliss. What story does this fit?
7.
Acid Head 04:16
You wrapped the cord around yourself But you didn't call for help when you said “get out of my head” And even though your bulb was lit The remaining sparks didn't mean shit unless You had someone else to impress The way you looked at me it said That we already drifted apart All feelings fled, you're an acid head This story's one I can't conclude Because I can see through you What can I do to make things right? What can I say to get this out of my foresight? I got it out, it went away But this shadow of spite still stays with me What can't I see? The picture I can't see it whole So I'll sit and I'll console what I've got left We were coalesced I'm feeling cool no longer hurt But I remember when the tables turned Nothing’s confirmed
8.
Right Way In 04:09
The blue light, it falls. It bounces out into the halls Reflects back off the mirror. I can't even hear her I don't know if she's even there. Insincerity in the air There's boxes on the table, filled with meaningless fables Come sit down and tell me how Your personality’s reeling now Show the way to the right way in How can you start if you don't know where to begin? These sounds they make no sense, tell you they’re not worth a pence. They're not richer. These lights that I’ve seen, I can’t tell you what you mean. Too bright for these eyes These floors that line the halls, want me at their beckoning call The machine up on that stage, wants me to start a clean new slate
9.
What If? 04:59
I'm hanging on the fringe I've known you since we were kids And I haven't taken a hint, yet And time will tell us all Whose turn it is to fall Tolerance is getting small I feel gracious everyday I stay here, but move further away My experience I can't convey And I'm not about To let you know all my doubts The photographs you showed me, are irreversible The steps we take together day to day, were untraceable What if I never said, what I know? The future wouldn't be as clear, as that window I can't see it I don't know how to feel The strangeness is too real Hang your necklace from a tree This was how it was meant to be This is more than you and me
10.
I'm running for the door I don't know you anymore How many times can you, lie to my face? Did I know you, in the first place? I cannot verbalize These thoughts I think of you And now I can't differentiate What is false and true Packing up and leaving Might be right but oh so cold Use your looks and feelings To buy back what you sold Seems to be, out of place Because you got lost, lost in space Simmer here, I can't feel High as a cloud, you're not real Calls will ring not for days I can't hear, I can't say I can't deal for what it's worth What is this I unearthed? Wrap up and roll over Tell me something that I'm not As you try to get inside my head and transcribe all my thoughts Tell me what I'm feeling and I'm hearing while you're there Don't give me the details, cause I'm sure that's what you'll spare And I'm not waiting anymore This house will crumble, I'll fall through the floor Time to see you, disappear The thought of losing you, was my biggest fear
