THE WORKING TITLE
bone island


physical love

i know better than this
i shoulda left
i coulda been back in my bed ours ago
but im inside a stranger

i talk daily to god
making my rounds
delivering mail lookin to fill the hole in my core
but when the sun goes out its

love physical love
maybe its the feeling so
much more tangible
feel it on the tip of my tongue

born in the bible belt
nothing gets me hotter than
yankin on a belt thats undone

breath so heavy and full
sweaty and cold
i feel alive i am alright i have arrived
take me all the way in

lightning come from above
bring me to life
bring me to god bring me to death i could care less
get me out of this bed

it's only flesh and bone
i can go home

dead inside

well you told me i was perfect for you and made me think i was
and hid from me your boyfriend who soon showed up
and rightfully stole the one thing i ever loved
then you told me i could never see you and made me what i am today

i was alive, now im dead inside
i'll watch my insides coming out tonight with this knife

so i sent my biggest friends to his place to let him know how far
this threatening my life would get him here
and made the big mistake of my whole life
dont you see what happens when you tell a lie? now people lose their lives

love make me free

love make me free come put your face on me
get me out of bed my bed take me out to see all i can be
make my head feel soft and free
i could fade away or be taken out to sea on a string

open doors in me
ruin wars with peace
use your heart dont be in hate choose love
out here in the sea
out here on the brink of all i could be

love make me free im so jaded i can't see
the good inside of all my friends
save the good inside of me from me
don't let me be left standing here on my two feet

with everyone around using their wings without me

followed
maybe i was walking alone
maybe there was nobody else
but i felt followed and not on my own

so i was moving faster again
feeling like an expendable role
in some old movie about to be taken out

but i found my courage on the wet grass

and we came home put bottles in between our cheeks
I cant see you but i cant see much
and the lights retreated back inside their bulbs
i felt like you until i felt you move
to the other room

workin had me tied in a knot
and i was on the corner again
feeling anxious waiting around

then jesus came again in my dream
told me i was fakin my life
like some old movie and i was expendable

and my friend i ran until i felt him

Wolf

I Found it I found it believe me I've cut it out
forget it dont be jaded i fixed it
you gotta listen gotta listen now

i really mean it i promise im not just fishin
its all comin down

i wasnt i wasnt makin it up
im a faker but i wasnt fakin X2

you'll fear it you made it keep listening
youre all dead youre all dead youre all dead youre all dead
you're all beggin annihilation dont listen
youll be dead youll be dead youll be dead

shoulda shut your mouth X2
coulda waited coulda waited to figure it out
shoulda shut your mouth X2
coulda waited coulda waited coulda waited it out

it any so steady ill make it the last man alive
you'll beg me for mercy so sorry for cryin wolf

arms and thighs

i lay out the first time
though ive moved far past this night
no one could know how far id go over time

open the sad knife
cut up these arms and thighs
might as well be higher than trees im alive

oh i must have been dreaming
oh look what ive done
oh no one can see this
oh i am coming undone

He stares at my shaking wine
with his unaffected eyes
and nothing to say hes breaking away and i

uncover my healing thighs
to open the door inside
i know that he'll leave when he's done with me tonight

oh i must have been dreaming
oh look what ive done
oh no one can see this
oh are we still having fun

you should know

o my god give me some sympathy
i need some drugs, carte blanche and a little string
when no ones there i can sneak up silently
around her neck
i cant help thinking that shes been lying to me

the burning inside dont tell me its all in my head
that its in my head

i should know if im in love ok
maybe youve just lost your touch
you should know that im in love
i need you so much closer

hold my hand, make me feel apathy
grab my pants, make my heart skip a beat
only when i slip and i pull the string i am alone
and i cant help thinking that you've been lying to me

the blood on my hands now tell me its all in my head
is it in my head?

im on my way dont put up a fight
58th and ninth im comin home
i should know if im in love ok
maybe youve just lost your touch so come here
you should know that we're in love
ill teach you not to lie

hijackers

pushing through salahad-din
someone knows what happens
and if you get down you might not die
kill the men and children

take the goods and women
oh if you go home you might not die

hide on the ground x2

dont make a sound x2

we will uncover you

blood on the ground x2

deafening sounds x2

they would take turns with you

up and down the sand is
making me feel ages
of heinous abuse i might just die
mercy comes if given
i am not Elohim
so if you show none you might just die

darkness
with the rain coming down i am dreamin
all over the world europeans
have started to train californians
to mimic the plight of menelaus and dear god its laughable
when I awake thinking all the cars have been taken back by them
and the californians have waged war on them

now I'm thinking how all of the georgians
have conspired against my best interest
and feeling deprived

i sit alone as the darkness covers over the room
replacing the light malignant
wondering how long i can survive alone

I'll make them believe i am stronger
and flexing my fleets i will win her
back from the world before winter
baby bring your disease i am stronger
I'll make you clean

still i sit alone as the darkness covers over the room
replacing the light malignant
wondering how long i can survive alone
well its not much longer i will be out like a light before dinner
oh no one gets to say what they mean well i need you

and if you are a dear and running...then im out there to catch you and make you feel at home

someone else

loosen your bones take off your coat and lets talk tell me how
you're doin alone i did not mind the hole in the ground until now

you tried to fill that hole with boys and booze
you tried to take him home but that won't do
open up your mind

it can not be someone else
it can not be someone else
not in a thousand years you should have known that
no one else can no one else will do

i've been alone baby runnin the map like a cold now it's old
you couldn't have known honey i didnt so it took bites from my mind

my head was beaten like a warn out drum
a picture of torment, i had come undone
you opened up my eyes

my god don't change it all

open up your mind

listen, read, decide

i hope everything works out but i cant argue now
we have opened up large doors to even larger
unimpaired despise and all that has taken
so many lives we can not pass the blame

maybe we should get out maybe theres other
things we could do here maybe we never should have
gone maybe we did the right thing
maybe we should help each other

come on you have to wake up, listen, read, decide.....make up your own mind
maybe everything takes time maybe we'll just
run ourselves into the ground like we're prone to do
are we thinking too much or not enough?

all i know is there
is no greater responsibility
than comes with great strength

Sugar for my sugar

it's the right time to fall apart and take on whether we should start over im over this i wish
we're so destructive, break what we know we need
leave what we wouldnt dare live without theres fire, and i've been standing in red and black
i should've burned you out of my head with a stick and the flames that surrounded the bed where you fixed
your arms like snakes onto his back.....i think i'm gonna be sick

there's nothing more distasteful than your spit in my mouth
and the cognizance of my disposition due to the lack of trust
in my inner voice, my conscience, that you gave your love, my love, to another
the sheets had burned away cracked and bleeding through but now im scattered around
my pieces running to the ground, i believed you, but you lied, and lied, and lied

i never threw you down like i always meant to but my anger never comes through
quite like i mean it to and now im dancing around screaming LIAR LIAR
but it's much too late watching you fall from the tree so beautiful and unprepared for what you already knew
but now i know that you're just ugly through and through

i stole your heart like the moon steals light from the sun and you stole mine leaving me dark and alone

might as well

take me on a train or send me helpless on a wave that i cant hang with
i need something new i need something i cant think i cant create
its all the same im in love with everything that brought me
closer to hell and closer to all that scares me in my head

so i pack all my things start tracing arrows with my brain but i just
stay oh i always stay my feet barely touch the ground im alive but i can't tell

throw me out of town might as well might as well
burn the whole place down might as well might as well

then i start naming names and start scratching down who i've replaced with red and brown
i'm so caught up with myself i can't see the people around who've kept me up
and held me down and filled my head with pills and crowns i can't forget
so i draw a line and start splitting names like a pesting vine

i dont carry silence in my head so easy,
free and careless like i once did now things have
never been so built up like a dam and im this
close to finding somewhere else to live so i dont die

silence i can't begin to tell you how much i've come to miss you where have the people
chained you and left you for dead

patience i can't begin to tell you how much i've come to miss you where have the people
chained you and left you for dead
kindness i can't begin to tell you how much i've come to miss you where have the people
chained you and left you to die alone
