lyrics from old songs writ by Cromb

I got bitter bones inside my skeleton...
I got a taste for pain that's licking up my life...
Bring out your dead and cry these tears no more...

*

I'm a cannibal, an unhealthy animal
Who yearns to die on his own damn time
You're head's out of reach, baby,
So is mine

I don't want to frighten you
but it's something that I'll do
It'd be easier not to try
But I like to see you cry

I wanna spend the night with you
You are many, I am few
You are like two thousand strong
Why can't we just get along

I'm a bucket
You used to fill me with your rain
I gladly would be filled again, but that's understood
Since you slipped away, I feel like I'm no good

I don't want to frighten you, etc....

*

Last time I saw you was an ember August night
And you were riding down toward the mall on your bike...
They say it takes all this time to find yourself
I don't believe it. I want you more, I want you more

*

Child, who are you?
Child, who are you?
Child, who are you?
Child...

You carry too much
You carry too much
You carry too much
In your ocean's shell

You leave too much
You bleed too much
You need too much
In your ocean of self

*

You're walking away, turning back
What am I supposed to say?
I feel your love stealing away
But who's the thief? It's not easy to say
