Flesh and Bone - Alien Ant Farm

I've gone through life white-knuckled In the moments that left me behind Refusing to heed the yield I penetrate the force fields in the blind They say I'll adjust God knows, I must But I'm not sure how This natural selection picked me out to be A dark horse running in a fantasy (Flesh and bone) And I'm running out of time (Flesh and bone) Somewhere outside that finish line I square up and break through the chains And I hit like a raging bull Anointed by the blood, I take the reins Cut from the cloth of a flag that Bears the name of "Battle Born" They'll call me the contender They'll listen for the bell With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell (What are you afraid of?) And what are you made of? (Flesh and bone) And I'm running out of time (Flesh and bone) And what are you made of? (Flesh and bone) Man, I'm turning on a dime (Flesh and bone) (This could decay) This could decay Like the valley below Defenses are down The stakes are high (scouting the crowd for a face of compassion) The fairytale ending (to face off the journey that fathers no more) The staggering blow (you'll find the truth in the roots of desire) You lead with your chin (thinking with your corners, just a compass and the sun) This could be real (thinking with your corners, just a) Simple And what are you made of? (Flesh and bone) And I'm running out of time (Flesh and bone) What are you made of? He faces forward Trading in his blindness for the world of love And time is raging, may it rage in vain And you always had it, but you never knew So boots and saddles (flesh and bone) Get on your feet There's no surrender, 'cause there's no retreat The bells are sounding (flesh and bone) Bring this match to an end (flesh and bone) We are the descendants of giant men

Buried, banging at your door Don't hear a sound, don't know me anymore A bell that tolled to comfort me An empty street, a rising steam Break the truth inside of me Climbed down to hell on the devil's tree I clutched a branch of soot and flame The thought that rose, to scorch my feet I walk alone, beside myself (ooh-ooh-ooh) Nowhere to go (ooh-ooh) Ah, this bleeding heart (ooh-ooh-ooh) That's in my hands, I fell apart (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Ah, I walk alone, beside myself (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Nowhere to go (ooh-ooh) My flesh and bones (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) This part of me, the seeds I've sewn (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Ah (ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) My flesh and bone (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) This part of me, the seeds I've sewn, ah (ooh-ooh) Ah-yeah Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Ah-ah-ah-yeah I walk alone, beside myself Nowhere to go, ah! This bleeding heart Is in my hands, I fell apart My flesh and bones My flesh and bones Ah, my flesh and bone

I guess we need it Loving arms And a hand to hold I guess we need it A touch, a laugh To get us through the day The sun comes rising Just the way it did before But I can't stand it Nothing like the warmth Of flesh and bone

Hate a lot of things But I love a few things And you are one of them Hard to believe After all of these years But you are one of them Walk down the street, I'm thinking "Everybody move along" I've got a sad-hearted needing To belong Nevertheless It's all the mess you made But I can't let it go Walk down the street, I'm thinking "Look at all the ants in the farm" I've got a sad-hearted feeling To harm Hate a lot of things But I love a few things And you are one of them

We'll take a trip for two, Around the world. We'll have a birds eye view, Of every single nation. I could be what you wanted. I could be what you needed. We're drifting apart like people do. We're difting apart 'cause we all do. And skies seem blue. Time has two separate hands And i wonder where we stand. We're drifting apart like people do We're drifting apart 'cause we all do. I'll gravitate toward the only girl. So with the wind we blew And now we're on a mission. I could be what you wanted I could be what you needed We're drifting apart like people do. We're drifting apart 'cause we all do And skies seem blue Time has two separate hands And i wonder where we stand. We're drifting apart like people do. We're drifting apart 'cause we all do.
