"Skin And Bones" lyrics
"Skin And Bones"
Skin and bones
And blood and teeth
Well this is essentially
Who we are
Hair and clothes
The company we keep
Well this regrettably
Who we are to others
We've all the same social routines
The tall good-looking boy at the bar
Won't have to stumble too far
To find someone
A new bird every night
And he's still not satisfied
We're thin skin, thick skulls, and awkward limbs
Each one unique by fractions of an inch
And we're all ashamed of our vanity
(As we should be, cause the Devil's in the details)
We've all the same social
Constrains and emotional cravings
You and me and him and her
And the prettiest girl at the party
Pities those girls who aren't so pretty, but dress nice
She'll go home alone, by choice
Or choose one of the boys to lay down with
If she's lonely
Or horny
Or human

Cursive - "The Recluse" I wake alone, in a woman's room I hardly know.
I wake alone- and pretend that I am finally home.
The room is littered with her books and notebooks.
I imagine what they say, like, 'Shoo fly, don't...
Dear And The Headlights - "Oh No!" Oh no! I had a thought and a feeling
I watched them fasten the noose
I wonder what to do

He doesn't have a clue
I wonder what to do
