I ain't got no bones.
I ain't got no bones.
The Devil said I lost my mind, but I just sat right back and smiled
And said "I ain't got bones."
I dont have a home.
I dont have a home.
Good Lord said I would in time
I looked Him right back in His eyes
And Said "I ain't got a home."
I don't need my soul.
I don't need my soul.
The angels promised me I'd see, but then the Devil blinded me,
and said "He doesn't need his soul."

I've missed you for days and days
But now all I missed are the days that I wasted
While I was wasted, passed out in cold basements
Watching the faceless conjuring their best faces
Sheets with no blankets, the fools- how they fake it.
Dancing from strings, fighting breath 'til they make it.
Congratulations to the girl that made a fool out of me.
My inspiration has been tested, you got the best for cheap.
With this bottle in my fist, I'll be losing sleep.
I'll forget you while im conscious, but you are all I drink.
Now I feel as if my actions change, while everything else- it stays the same.
See, I was the game that was being played by a thief and a cheat, they are one in the same.
Showing no same, placing the blame...I'll take it all just to smoke out my name.
Though I saw the flames, I've seen your true shades...
I've cried wolf and lied, but this time I've seen fangs.
Congratulations to the girl that made a fool out of me.
My inspiration has been tested, you got the best for cheap.
With this bottle in my fist, I'll be losing sleep.
I'll forget you while im conscious, but you are all I dream.
I miss the days when I was sober.
Because I felt so much older, than these teeth on top of shoulders singing songs, kissing lovers.
But now I drink too much. No, I don't speak too much...
Because when I do, I make a fool out of everyone I know.
I don't know a thing.

We insist to exist
On top of your shaking firsts
While we rid ourselves of this
As we wash our dirty lips
And we laugh like we are kids
When we think of what we did
We blame it on the silly fits
Let's blame it on those pointless fits
So if I smoke and then I drink
And then I sing too fast
And what if all of this was wrong,
And then I dream too fast
Then my body starts to break
Am I built to last?
Oh God, I'm not built to last.
We all jumped in line
But now we're wasting time.

Tonight, I saw the Man in the Moon.
Tonight, I got so high I forgot to call you back.
But it was worth it just to see him smile and wink back at me.
And I know there's more than this.
And I hope a star's not just a star,
but a far away planet full of people who act just like me.
And when we meet we'll discuss our originality.
I'm so nervous.
I'm so sick that my words are made up of tiny hints of you.
I heard the truth.
I know about you.
I'm happy you pulled through.
I'm glad you pulled through.
Tonight. I'm leaving all of this tonight.
And if I fall, the coulds will have my back.
They are perfect for someone who dreams the way I dream.
And I feel blessed everynight that people come out to see my band.
I hope it's worth it, and you know how much it means to me.
I would pay to see all of you singing back to me.
I would pay to hear all of you...

Put your head on straight. Everything is backwards today.
Honey, don't you stray too far away from me. Please stay.
Please, please stay.
Because it's dark, cold and dangerous out on your own.
A thousand words to scream at you, to let you know just how I feel inside.
Take ten steps back. That's no way for a girl to act.
It's what we lack, and it's in the way we aim to react.
If I had a wife,
she'd look into my eyes and say, "You will be mine everyday in every way."
Well she's a liar and a cheat.
She doesn't really love me. Baby, baby.
Love me. Love me. Baby, baby.

I've been locked in this room for days,
trying just to find a way to save myself from who I've become.
Well the Lord knows that I am a broken down, hopeless man.
A mess He knows better than to touch.
If He gave a dollar each time that I hollered His name...
And then took one back for each time He didn't listen...
God damn you, things would be the same. They're always the same.
It's not necessarily necessary for a man to walk all alone.
But I'm certainly certain that this man...he walks with the Lord no more.
They always told me You'd never give me more that I can take.
But I'm telling you now that You've got me weighed down so heavy,
I fear that I'll break. Oh, I need a break.
Oh, I need a break.

Is she warm enough for you?
Will you make it through the night?
I can't make this up to you.
Call her beautiful for once in your life.
Is this what you wanted? I didn't plan this.
The Lord knows that I'm cautious and I'm so sick.
I am so self, but you are a child.
I have hoped that we might change.
But not for days and days.
There's too many different ways.
You just need some sleep.
If she means that much to you, why don't you dream?
I'll make her scream, I'll make her believe she doesn't see me.
Is this what you wanted? I didn't plan this.
The Lord knows that I'm cautious and I'm dangerous.
I am so self, but you are a child.
I have hoped that we might change.
But not for days and days.
There's too many different ways.

We've been collecting the tickets to do the most evil of shit.
We've been watching sinking ships and always leaving tips
for all the poisons we keep pushing past our lips.
Let's push this past our lips.
And we'll seal it with a kiss. Let's seal this with a kiss.
Baby babe...I don't want to sleep.
I just need a place where I can get a drink.
Baby babe...I don't want to go.
This isn't a place that I'd ever call home.
We've been collecting the tickets to do the most evil of shit.
We've been up and down this strip and always leaving tips
for all the poisons we keep pushing past our lips.
Let's push this past our lips.
And we'll seal it with a kiss. Let's seal this with a kiss.
Deep inside this hole, where the days- they are so warm.
And the nights- they are so cold.
I'm so cold.

I called my mother, but only heard my brother crying.
He said he feels like he's dying. He can't sleep, though he's trying.
He's just lost the love of his life.
I tell him that he will be alright.
That everything is fine.
That everything will work out in time.
I pray, I pray that I'm not lying.
Brother, I hate to see you down.
You're sprawled out with your body on the ground...
Or in the bed where you dream.
The pillow- you scream.
The visions in your head when you're fast asleep.
No, just you wait and see...that things aren't just the way they seem.
Even with oceans in between.
Brother, his body is shaking so.
He says he's numb. He's numb from head to toes.
His hands...his hands are shaking, cold.
It's just his bones, it's his lovely little bones.
It's in his broken bones.
