Our Bones

I tried and I tried Took all the drugs they said would open my mind Still I'd rather be buried with my pride Is it wrong if I'm right? (Right) Tripping and tripped up by money and gold A tangible price for the soul Strung up and strung out, this body's a host We're all just figurative ghosts Blinded, distracted We can't even see They drag us along whichever way they please They go where they know they've got us by our bones We follow They lead You tried, yeah, you tried You'll take everything they've got to give You'll hope they'll make a better life for you to live, live, live For you to live, live (You don’t have a soul to give) Blinded, distracted We can't even see Then they drag us along whichever way they please They go where they know we're in the undertow We follow (We follow) (They lead, they lead, they lead) We follow, we follow 'Cause we're blinded, distracted We can't even see They drag us along whichever way they please They go where they know they've got us by our bones We follow, we follow (We follow) (They lead, they lead, they lead) (We follow) We follow They lead

Worth the fix? Come get your sleep And in the wake, breathe deep 'Cause when this all fill your lungs It'll feel just like you're a sinking stone Oh, it happened to us all When we lose control We lose control We lose control The life that you chose Where the dirt cloaks your bones And I know it feels like you're drowning these days And I know you question if it's too late And my only hope is that you choose to stay 'Cause you're more than You're more than an early grave You're more than an early grave Does it feel like you're sinking? (Don't sink, don't sink) The hurt that you show In every word you that you spoke And I know it feels like you're drowning these days And I know you question if it's too late And my only hope is that you choose to stay Don't be too proud to say That you are alone, lost and afraid When you’re about to break Just know your doubt's misplaced I know it feels like you're drowning these days I know you feel like you can't be saved And my only hope is that you choose to stay And I know it feels like you're drowning these days And I know you question if it's too late And my only hope is that you choose to stay 'Cause you're more than You're more than More than an early grave More than an early grave You're more than an early grave

You'd say, "I wonder how death found me? And how I might not be the worst, but I'd always be your first" These days only grey surrounds me As I watch all you were slowly fall into the earth All Greys

Shakedown 1979 Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet Junebug skippin' like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end To it all And I don't even care To shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed Into the earth below Double-cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slippin' dues Down to see That we don't even care As restless as we are We feel the pull In the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement Lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go Beneath the sound of hope Justine never knew the rules Hung down with the freaks and ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it To see And I don't even care To shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed Into the earth below The street heats the urgency of now As you can see, there's no one around
