FAMILY BONES

Lyrics for FAMILY BONES

I wore around my neck the key to my home The little one which I couldn't keep on my own Meditate in the porcelain king on his throne Add another rattle to the family bones Sleepy to the rhyme through a radio tone Four days prone Magnolia sky, night and day Forty watt sun rise on kitchen sink bay The ghost drones The years flown A slice Freud Sleep or pay Forty watt sun rise on kitchen sink bay Another hole and an old oath Still picking mould from the loaf Rolling out of bed onto a cloud of smoke The water reflects a joke No laughs The wheel breaks a spoke Hard paths Cops wrath On the seeds of the day's gripes he chokes All of it is all the same My shadow like oil slick Shivering with guilt and shame Can't shake it from my boots with a kick Brace myself for the mauling but the beast is pathetic and tame Boot licker Shit flicking the blame Curled up like a child on the bottom stair She wakes me with my pill and water She moves like she's floating through a minefield My world is blowing up around her Crops of songs drop from the last yield The beast curled on the ground purrs Moving through the masses with a pipe and shield Hold tight to the pen Eating sand and shitting pearls Hurl another rock at the den I'm breaking in Coming at it like ten men I'll fix it up and destroy it again Shine is a hill that casts shade on the town Guilt is the silver cloak of smoke wrapped around The mind floats so the body don't drown A tree on the peak felt the axe and cursed the ground A rotten apple fell and rolled four generations down Shine is a hill that casts shade on the town Guilt is the silver cloak of smoke wrapped around The mind floats so the body don't drown A tree on the peak felt the axe and cursed the ground A rotten apple fell and rolled four generations down
