Black Bone Child

They say that only time will tell
Waiting never suited me well
All the time, pile it on
What’s another year or two?

Time pass me by

There’s something about idle hands
What makes a man go to hell?
It’s getting warm, throughout the land
I think it’s time to run and hide

Time pass me by

There’s nowhere you can run for help
Take a nap and you’ll feel well
Evil time, pass me by
Help me get out of here

Time pass me by

Ha ha ha hey hey

Headstrong so I can choose
I’m on this plain and I cannot lose
Well I’m headstrong and I’m ok
And I’ll bend it until it fits the place

Headstrong without the rules
Headstrong so I can choose
Headstrong another day
Headstrong and on my way

Ha ha ha hey hey

Headstrong so I can choose
I’m on this plain and I cannot lose
Well I’m headstrong and I’m ok
And I’ll bend it and hope that it won’t break

Ha ha ha hey hey

Hold each other down as they light up the sky

Coming back don’t sit there and talk about it
Now you got no place to hide

Louisiana to the border she’s a dirty liar
Hold each other just like Bonnie and Clyde

Hold each other down
Hold each other down as they light up the sky

The sun has set with all this weight upon me
Going blind is what I’ll learn to do

It’s alright it’s ok it’s alright in it’s own way
It’s alright it’s ok the sun is still up for you

Watch it burn (background vocals)
You shake my hand but you’re not my friend
Hold on tight so it won’t end
God and I know what will save me
Lost sight of the stories ending yeah
I’ve got enough to learn
Well I’ll turn my head, look back and watch it burn

The sun has set I’m nothing like you made me
And choosing this is what I’ll never do
With all these lies we’re running on empty
A smile breaks the silence in the room

It’s alright it’s ok it’s alright in it’s own way
It’s alright it’s ok the sun is still up for you

Watch it burn (background vocals)
You shake my hand but you’re not my friend
Hold on tight so it won’t end
God and I know what will save me
Lost sight of the stories ending yeah
I’ve got enough to learn
Well I’ll turn my head, look back and watch it burn

Watch it burn a bittersweet ending
And choosing this is what I’d never do
Going blind will no longer save me
Now turn your eyes in and see right through

It’s alright it’s ok it’s alright in it’s own way
It’s alright it’s ok the sun is still up for you

Watch it burn (background vocals)
You shake my hand but you’re not my friend
Hold on tight so it won’t end
God and I know what will save me
Lost sight of the stories ending yeah
I’ve got enough to learn
Well I’ll turn my head, look back and watch it burn

So are you satisfied when you’re all alone?
Live your life with both your eyes closed
What other choice do I have to take?
When I am wrong with all of your mistakes

Run around I feel so lost
I feel so alone (background vocals)
It never ends, it never stops
I change my mind again
With all the blame you never win
Why can’t I see?
You make me bleed

Run around I feel so lost
I feel so alone (background vocals)
It never ends, it never stops
I change my mind again
With all the blame you never win

Why can’t I see?
You make me bleed

Eyes on me as I walk in the room
Cause everything they say is true
If all is said ain’t no lie
Tell me girl will you be mine?

All I ask is for one drink
When you tie me up don’t make me think
I said all I say ain’t no lie
Tell me girl will you be mine?
Will you be mine?

The candle is slowly burning and the paint is drying too
Go ahead and take my money cause you know I got nothing to lose

God is in the tree tops and god is beneath the sand
The devil stays in the city and he’s trying to take my hand

You got nothing to lose

You can write a song all about it you can put it all in a book
No one’s ever gonna read it and you’re lucky if they even look

Stuck inside all these walls are killing me
From the cell pull all the life out of me
Everything that I wanted is far away

Everything I need’s in front of me

Bet you can but you won’t taste the other side
Fill you up with my hand and a dirty lie
Been around a couple times and it’s not enough
Look inside the devil’s eyes come and fill me up

Fill me up

Been waiting around for you
Do everything you want me to
But everything just really is not enough
Fill me up

I know what I want this time
A pretty girl that you can’t unwind
If everybody with a soul had to save me
I’d be there well half of what I could be

To the sound oh the sound I know oh so well
Burning eyes, lost inside and still I fell
Not far enough but you want to be in the know
Turn your head cough and sweat and let go

Bet you can but you won’t taste the other side
Fill you up with my hand and a dirty lie
Been around a couple times and it’s not enough
Look inside the devil’s eyes come and fill me up

Fill me up

You feel the drip running down your neck
You want to run but you can’t run quite just yet
You’re gonna see what it really means to need yeah
And time will tell if your pretty face has gone to hell

You feel the push of the looks cutting right through you
You catch those eyes hypnotized and it’s all you know
You’re gonna see what it really means to need yeah
And time will tell if your pretty face has gone to hell

Gonna see what you really did to me yeah
And time will tell if we’re ever gonna meet again

It’s the last of your past that’s caught up with you
You feel the guilt that you built that you can’t change now
You’re gonna see what it really means to need yeah
And time will tell if your pretty face has gone to hell

Gonna see what you really did to me yeah
And time will tell if we’re ever gonna meet again

You’re running now running now running now
You’re running now running
You’re running running running
Gonna see what you really did to me yeah
And time will tell if we’re ever gonna meet again

Sure as the sunlight even this won’t go away
She’s condescending but it’s hard to turn and break

Good god almighty we were going down slow
Lead boots to swim with no where else to go

She’s not the one for me
That pretty smile, then you feel the teeth
With thighs like that she makes it hard to take
There’s only one thing I can say

She’s not the one for me

I’ve been waiting so long can’t sleep
I’ve been waiting bring me to my knees
I’ve been waiting way down by the pine tree
I’ve been waiting so long I can’t sleep

How long will I wait? How long, how long?
By myself I am so alone, so alone
I’ve been waiting so I could see this
All I need now I ask for forgiveness

She’s been running so far from
She’s been running until the ground makes her bleed
She’s been running can’t walk can’t see
She’s been running so far from me

How long will I wait? How long, how long?
By myself I am so alone, so alone
I’ve been waiting so I could see this
All I need now I ask for forgiveness
