8. Equally Drawn & Repelled

Lyrics: Mark Baynes
Mark Baynes: Vocals, Electric and Slide Guitars

I've got his mark upon my brow
Blistered and bleeding like some sacred cow
Can you tell me who will help me now
Cause Mr bones he wants me
I'm too old for his deceit
My body's strong but my mind is weak
My tongue feels bridled when I try to speak
And Mr bones he taunts me
The more I learn the less I know
He walks on cloven feet with wings of crow
He tries to lead me where I don't want to go
But Mr Bones he tempts me
He wants to bind me and take my pride
Deeper down on some endless slide
I won't kneel while he's alive
And Mr Bones lies beside me
The more I see the less I feel
He wants to crush me under broken heels
His gaping jaw no truth reveals
And mr bones he done trapped me
I don't want what he's got to sell
But I'm equally drawn and repelled
He's got my soul he done caught me well
But now Mr Bones he don't want me
