Bones Of '92

(album: Airplane Conversations - 2012)

Simple steps are all it takes
But steps don't erase mistakes
Hand it off to me
'Cause when you're lost, you're found; you're gone

Context clues don't do much for you
So I'll leave them buried in the details
If anyone cares, I'm the voice of reason

Because if I bottle up a monster
It only grows, grows, grows
Then why should I expect it gone
Before I'm bones, bones, bones, I'm bones

Simple steps are all it takes
But steps don't erase mistakes
Hand it off to me
'Cause when you're lost, you're found; you're gone

Context clues don't do much for you
But I'll leave them buried in the details
So kids like me can find them
So men like me transcribe them
Save your futures and save yourselves
From industrial, industry hells
Mimicry is flattering
But dangerous and matters to me

Simple steps are all it takes
But steps don't erase mistakes
Hand it off to me
'Cause when you're lost, you're found; you're gone
Simple steps are all we need
To dig up these rotten seeds
That are here to sing
That “Today, not tomorrow is ours.”

I won't sell myself out
I won't let you down
Just promise that you won't forget about me
I can't stop the future from settling
But I can change the way it feels
Just promise you won't forget about me
