Flesh and Bone

by drew - Taurus

It's written on a stone finger deep 
and will not wash away.
It comes back to my head in my sleep, 
it cannot help but stay.
And even in the day wide awake 
this will not leave me alone
I can't belive it's for my sake, 
I'm only flesh and bone.

It compels me to write lyrics like these, 
which just confuse me more
Sometimes it lets me do what I please, 
but when I'm glass eyed bored
It sneaks inside me and wakes me up, 
going against the grain
If ever I take but a sup 
it brings back all the pain.

There seems only one way to kill it, 
to give it what it wants
And lower it into the pit 
with the hateful pain it flaunts.
Life's so confusing, I feel alone, 
but still hold onto friends,
I make these mistakes, I'm flesh and bone 
and will be till the end.
