I've been working twelve hours every day,
And I've been getting crumbs for my pay.
When I was young this is not how I saw my life:
Working every day and breaking my back, my back
and all I get's a dime.
Sometimes my dreams feel
like they've gone to the wayside,
But I ain't dead yet,
so I'll keep on tryin'
I don't want it
I don't need it
I don't wanna work
these twelve hour days
I'll keep dreamin'
I'll keep schemein'
'till all the blood falls out my veins
I want a life that's better than this,
and I'll find my van, and I'll find my bliss.

Emily
baby, please
be good to me
I can't sleep,
haven't slept for days
just can't get away,
from that post-love haze.
and my body's breaking down
to tiny pieces on the ground.
Your soul is frozen to the core,
but I still want more.
Center of your own attention,
and it's plain to see
that you were always playin' games.
I don't even want to mention,
but it breaks my heart,
every time I hear your name.

Dreamers they,
boil your snake blood.
So you're speaking with
your parseltongue
to the devil so only the devil can hear.
Now you're giving them
your vacant-evil eye
or tellin' them
that they're wastin' their lives
but it's you that's stuck and will never be free.
Point
your
anger and rage
towards someone else
point
your
crooked finger
at yourself.
You had everything
you needed to succeed,
but when things got tough
and when times got lean,
you had to go,
cause being broke
wasn't part of your plan.
Now you settled for
getting settled down,
got a dead end job
in your dead end town
now you're bitter as the coffee
that you hold in your hand
Point
your
anger and rage
towards someone else
point
your
crooked finger
at yourself.
Parseltongue you are the worst

Say Hello
by Born Without Bones
From the very first chord of "Say Hello", to the very last, pain-stricken vocals of the song, "The Camera Turns", this album is beautifully done.
