The hanging tree, it weeps But it does not yield Oh so tall it looms The lone wood in this field Centuries of gloom Looking down upon The assaulter see's their doom It's to never pass on Ghosts in the well Ghosts in the mine Trapped, lost, forgot Long before their time Some will drink their rot Naked bones in the dirt No X marks their spot None will know their hurt

Smoke and mirrors Career fear mongers A simple goal: belittle Live by the motto: “Suck on my pistol” Career fear mongers Suck on their pistol A little bit longer We hit the beach They have high ground Tricksters, draft dodgers Dance within the circle Spew the false hope Pop. Cork. Missile New ways to cope Pushing on the staggered Celebrate your shoes Lingerie, power We hit the beach Hey have high ground The mud it flies Deafening sound

Statistics show This is what we know Billions of people can’t be wrong Majority rules A proven fact, it’s true Billions of people can’t be wrong You look with your eyes But perceive with your wallet Billions of people can’t be wrong Do just what you like Believe what you want Billions of people can’t be wrong Quicker, faster More convenient When It comes to quality We’ve become more lenient Some truth be told Straight outta the mold I read it in a book Why shouldn’t I believe it Billions of people can’t be wrong Billions of people can’t be wrong Billions of people can’t be wrong Can't be wrong, can't be wrong

It’s been such a long, long while Since I’ve thought like a child There, I’ll never return …return Oh that look you gave me So “who the hell are you?” made, my blood pump burn …burn We used to be friends I find it kinda sad i find it so strange The stone is always rolling The real constant is change Tarp for a roof Cardboard for bed In my dreams I hope Tonight I’ll be fed Once bright colors Turned sepia tone faded and learned …learned Say I ain’t worth a dollar But then you gave me two how did I earn? …earn? Once I was worth it I find it kinda sad I find it so strange The stone is always rolling I need a change Oh this wallow Oh this hell How'd I get here Eternal smell I find it kinda sad But mostly so strange The stone is always rolling The real constant is change Tarp for a roof Cardboard for bed In my dreams I hope Tonight I’ll be fed

Winding dusty road Desolate, untold Treasures round the bend All this life to spend I don’t need a thing Cept the water from my canteen A couple of peaches from the tree Don’t need you, you don’t need me Winding dusty road Desolate, untold Treasures round the bend I'll share it with you again I don’t know Where to go This ignorance Is golden bliss ...golden bliss

Rusty guitar strings Half full ash tray Fight the boredom Learn new games to play Holes at the knees Of my favorite jeans Don’t you dare throw thoses Stale saltines away I've got a pickle I've got a beer I wanna love you For at least a thousand years I like the way You cut my hair I don’t care If you wear underwear Special brownies Soggy cereal I'll remind you When to take your pill Drinkin warm 40’s 90’s dance parties Tell me does this smell Like chlorophyll I've got a pickle I've got a beer I wanna love you For at least a thousand years Read to me Lick my ear When you puke I'll hold back your hair

Something in the way of it all It’s seen but never understood It is handled but never grasped A problem caused only when owned All have had it, some let it go Its death is true indication Of a lack in faith of control Without, you have the room to grow If only it couldn’t find its way back

about

“Naked Bones” is a concept album about the forces in this world, embracing imperfection, and the depths we can reach as a society and as an individual
-
Imperfection in song, like scars in flesh.

Stripped, down to the bone.

A child no more.
