Andrew Jack - Skin & Bones lyrics

We all love the face that God gave us, We all see the twinkle in our own eyes And I've been thinking hard my whole life But I'm not afraid to gamble, roll dice Whether you're addicted to d**, Conflicted with love, drink for the buzz Or think that you're f**ed -- things will look up I find sensational thrills in inspirational chills And, that's cool, you have organizational sk**s Well, I'm happy for you -- I really am -- But my life's a sappy story starring a silly man I tried to stay stimulated, Because there was nothing worse than reality So I tend to put on an animated personality We didn't walk the same path I have lost more than I could ever gain back I am not rich I've never had hors d'oeuvres And to go to school I had to put myself in debt I'm not here to repeat the same four words Until they're stuck in your head I want to be a game changer But up until now my luck's been hanging by a thread All I really know is I'll be creating until I'm dead Some people spend their whole life Figuring out what they already are They say, “You have to pay your dues If you want to be a star.” I think it's sad when I see People giving up on their dreams To work in a factory. So it seems it's how it has to be Human nature lacks biodiversity If you want to get a job, go to university Like it hurts to be original But i'd rather be broke and unconditional Than wealthy and miserable We're all born with the spirit in which we inherit I don't make art to sell, I just want to share it Me and my brothers were troublemakers, My mom couldn't get through to us. Then my teachers realized I was different, But I always knew I was. My only memories of my dad Are Mickey Mouse stuff-y In a collage on my wall I used to think I was unlucky Now I think no blessing is too small I've never been comfortable, Always hungry for more Grew up, the youngest of four But I was still alone with my thoughts So I thought that I would give it all that I got My mission will never vary Art is what I bleed Only true visionaries will succeed Because I'm not after money f** greed I don't really think that they understand me I think about my life, where it is, and how it can be I'm blocking out the bullsh**, I'm proceeding peacefully This is for the people who believed in me This is for my father, who had dreams for me To develop, someone has to imagine Progression requires pa**ion This world's so f**ed, change needs to happen I try to be affable, but they think I'm a nuisance I don't know math at all, so I thought I was stupid I see things differently Our views differ, but don't resent me You see, when I think about the world I see the earth as a cell The atmo-, hydro-, and lithosphere Allow life to excell Mother Nature is omniscient, a**uring that all is well When the system isn't efficient, chaos will swell Natural disasters present danger, but keep order in check Nature isn't fueled by anger and has no regret And when it helps you, it doesn't hold you in debt My friends and family thought that I was depressed But I was just a little self-pitiful Yeah, I believe in the Bible But only as a concept, I don't take it too literal Creating my own millennium, my life isn't a gold run I'm as good as anyone, but I'm better than no one And this part of my thesis is hard to explain If I said we all possess pieces of Jesus, You would think I was insane But what if I told you we're already in heaven And hell is in your brain? Because nature is beauty and judgement brings strain Society is twisted, but we're all to blame It's like nobody's human when Facebook's our name Half the population is egotistical and pessimistic The standard is hypocritical and materialistic Too bad my grasp of reality flushed my swag down the drain I am an an*lytical misfit who shall remain the same as I came Skin & bones through the game You either worked for it or were born into it And even though innocence sits in the syndicate Carcinogen is imminent within the kids This isn't the revolution, it's the intrinsic switch
