Your Bones

Piss In The Well (Free form songwriting - no lyrics - no structure - ad lib)

Kate, it's been a while
Since I saw your picture
How we've changed so much
I held the flame, and you the water
You told me I was not enough
Kate had a line and she would often use it
"You need to wash away your sins"
Well, I've got a girl and I don't need your wisdom
I tore your photograph to shreds

Maybe someday you will hear the things you said
and wish to take them back, somehow I doubt that.
I think as time walks by, we reap the words we sow
But I would like you to know..

I bet you'd hate the way we live (directionless)
Baby, You think you're better then (our decadence)
My girl won't tell me that I'm wrong (unless I'm wrong)
My girl is everything you're not
"You better wash away your sins"

Kate had a way with dramatic exits
She told me how bad I had become
I sat on the couch and I felt so stupid
for all the crying that I'd done

Maybe someday you will hear the things you said
and wish to take them back, somehow I doubt that.
I think as time runs by, we reap the words we sow
But I would like you to know..

I bet you'd hate the way we live (directionless)
Baby, You think you're better then (our decadence)
My girl won't tell me that I'm wrong (unless I'm wrong)
My girl is everything you're not
"You better wash away your sins"

(musical bridge)

(guitar solo over verse progression)

(build up over pre chorus music)

I bet you'd hate the way we live (directionless)
Baby, You think you're better then (our decadence)
My girl won't tell me that I'm wrong (unless I'm wrong)
My girl is everything you're not
"You better wash away your sins"
"You better wash away your sins"
"You better wash away your sins"

I've got a girl (Kate)

My OCD
it spoke to me
"Man, get yourself a life."
Away from all the weight you thought
you'd carry through the night

In a formal way
I tried to say 
Goodbye
In a dream I had
I save my wrongs
for right

How'd I get this old?
I don't understand if it's worth knowing when we go
How'd I get this old?
I don't understand if it's worth noting where we go

Sweet love of mine
for you I'd die
a thousand times or more
Without you dear, I'd fall to tears..
and fade away ignored

In a formal way 
I thought I'd say 
Goodbye
In a dream I had
I saved my wrongs
for right

How'd I get this old?
I don't understand if it's worth knowing when we go
How'd I get this old?
I don't understand if it's worth noting where we go

In a formal way
I've tried to say 
Goodbye
In a dream I had 
I saved my wrongs 
for right
In a dream I had I saved my wrongs for right
In a dream I had I saved my wrongs for right

How'd I get this old?
I don't understand if it's worth knowing when we go
How'd I get this old?
I don't understand if it's worth noting where we go







How my name has murdered me
Long live the daze I knew
How my name has painted me
a fool for the taking, it's true

Someday I'll be born
back into the norm again
I never will get used to this
I'm tired, tired.
Once I felt so sure
Now never will I speak again
Will I ever just get used to this
I'm tired, tired.

I found luck had abandoned me
I'm a fool for the pain that I put you through
Secret games I'd often play
I used, and was used to abusing you

Someday I'll be born
back into the norm again
I never will get used to this
I'm tired, tired.
Once I felt so sure
Now never will I speak again
Will I ever just get used to this
I'm tired, tired.

Christ, I hate the way I treated everyone I knew
If I could take back all that I do
I lay awake and think of everything that I've done
I haven't earned the right to be loved
Have I yet earned the right for love

Someday I'll be born
back into the norm again
I never will get used to this
I'm tired, tired.
Once I felt so sure
Now never will I speak again
Will I ever just get used to this
I'm tired, tired.


"Sired" (maybe Make Edits)

I'm just saying hello
I thought someone should let you know 
that the sun's out, so look up.
I'm just saying hello
I thought someone could let you know 
that you're something to someone
Yeah,  you're something to someone

Where we live it's easy to get caught up in the rain
With the way we live we should be just as grateful for our pain
because we are alive and you've made me realize.

I'm just saying hello
and to remind you to let them go, 
all the problems in your head
I'm just saying hello
I thought someone could let you know 
that the world loves what you are
and the sun's out so look up

Where we live it's easy to get caught up in the rain
With the way we live we should be just as grateful for our pain
because we are alive and you've made me realize.

I'm just saying hello..
I thought someone could let you know
that you're something to someone 
and the sun's out so look up.

Im just saying "Hello."

What I've come to find is it's not often I treat you right
I've been caught in a funk and my obsessions compete with us

In a vision I had in my dreams
You had enough, and walked out on me
and the home we built with our bare hands
went up in smoke and burned us badly

Then I woke up
and you were staring at me
My little one.
My world won't turn without your love
My world wouldn't last without the way you love

At night you're alone
While I'm uptown driving a forklift
I get scared that you'll go
and find a doctor or a lawyer you see fit 
for your loving
I don't think I deserve it 
All your loving

Television keeps my mind at peace
Yet it robs me of the life I need
In a dream I had you walked out on me
In a vision I was sound asleep

When I woke up
You were singing to me
Oh, my little one
My world won't turn without your love
My world won't spin without your love
My world wouldn't last without the way you love

It's getting harder to be so gracious
My knees are likely to give out sooner or later
When I'm falling asleep would you sing to me
Sing to me.

Now I'm waking up
and you're there waiting for me
you were sent from above

My world won't turn without your love
My world won't spin without your love
My world won't turn without your love
My world wouldn't last without the way you love

The way you love
The way you love
Love


My World Wont Turn Without Your Love

Why’d I do all those things to you?

A long time ago - oh - I knew you so well
A long time ago - oh - when I was an animal
I wish I could turn back the clock in my head
and take back all the things I've done to you friend

Why’d I do all those things to you?
All the damage that I can’t undo
Maybe someday we will find some resolve
Or maybe it’s just better left alone now.

Now I'm getting old - oh - the years they’ve been unkind
and I'm scared of you - oh - and how you will use every
pound I've gained and every scar on my face
to laugh at me and tell them “What a loser.”

Why’d I do all those things to you?
All the damage that I can’t undo
Maybe someday we will find some resolve
Or maybe it’s just better left alone now.

(Bridge)

Why’d I do all those things to you?
All the damage that I can’t undo
Why’d I do all those things to you?

(ending went to long – will be cut in group performance)


I knew you so well


(verse)
I hollowed out my eyes,
A frowned upon misunderstanding.
Take away my mind,
and keep it safe from Philadelphia.
She will make you just like them
and break you of your honest skin
Steal your heart and turn you upside down 
until you fade into the night

(chorus)
If I come back, I best not be denied 
I will claim you and take you for a ride
and I will break you, and throw your bones aside
and I will have found a second life

(verse)
I've swallowed all my pride.
and I can't take another year of
losing every time
to anyone who's keep tabs on
What to wear, and where to be,
how to act, and when to speak.
Careless, lazy, woe is me.
I can't be what I'm not.
Sorry to say.

(chorus)
If I come back, I best not be denied 
I will claim you and take you for a ride
and I will break you, and throw your bones aside
and I will have found a second life

(bridge)
I miss the comfort in believing the worst is over
I miss the comfort in believing the worst is over

(Alternate-Chorus)
I miss the comfort in believing the worst is over
I miss the ease in believing my time is coming
I miss the comfort in believing the words I'm singing
I miss the comfort in believing the words I'm singing


Philadelphia(A Second Life)

On the front I'm half undone
a panic attack left unaddressed
for weeks then months
I’m on the run
In my head there's a street I miss
a house I knew, and a hope I kept
that you might find
me sometime
and take my heart and steer me right

You're like mescaline to me
You fuck me up but make me feel alright
You're like mescaline sent to me
You numb of the troubles in my mind

I’m alone with a one track mind
I find myself in the words I write
To you my love
You lift me up
You take my flaws and make them shine

You're like mescaline to me
You fuck me up but make me feel alright
You're like mescaline sent to me
You numb of the troubles in my mind

On and on /an only son
I felt the words/You spoke to me

You're like mescaline to me
You fuck me up but make me feel alright
