Brittle Bones
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a dog,
He lives upstairs,
He drops his bone,
He never cares.
He keeps me up,
He brings me down.
He only makes his ruckus
When he knows I am around.
There is a rain,
It?s fallin? Now and I am insane,
From all it?s sounds.
The splish,
The splash,
The pitter pat.
It only does its business when it knows I?m feeling sad.
There is a kid,
He lives next door
And I thought I knew him
But I'm not sure.
Well whats to know?
Hell, whos to care?
I only voice my venom when I'm drunk
I'm dumb enough to care.
There is a dame,
Shes down the street,
Between the dog and her,
I never sleep.
I'm dyin? Slow everyday,
We?re only born so we can learn to push,
Punish and pay okay.
There is a grave up on a hill
It?s empty now but soon it will
Be filled with dust and brittle bones.
I'm only sure it's over cause
I know I'm all alone,
I'm only sure its over cause
I know I'm all alone,
I'm only sure it's over cause
I know I'm all alone.
