Throw Me A Bone

you've got me on a leash
a choke-chain that you tug on
just loose enough to breathe
not long enough to get far
you leave me out to freeze
until you start to get cold
it's like each time i'm about to leave
somehow you know
you always
give with one
but you take with the other
you're here while i love
but you're there while i suffer
you feed them the beef
while i'm starving for mutton
at least just spare me the scraps
just throw me a bone
just throw me a bone
when we're alone you act like
i'm all that there is
but when you see me out you treat me
like i don't even exist
this game is getting old and my
patience is wearing thin
there's not much more i can take
before i have to give in
you always
give with one
but you take with the other
you're here while i love
but you're there while i suffer
you feed them the beef
while i'm starving for mutton
at least just spare me the scraps
just throw me a bone
just throw me a bone
just give me enough to chew on
that's not asking too much
if you want me to keep keepin' on
then throw me a bone

Mettle

you were the ones
who should have been there from the start
but now it's done
and i won't forget whose side you were on
don't back me now
the time has been and come and gone
you're another one
of those who chose to pull me down
you always doubted what I knew that I could do
but I knew
now so do you
your doubt couldn't quell my flame it was its fuel
and it grew
thanks to you
to all of those that told me no
i told you so
i told you so
( x 4)
you pretend
like you were there all along
but can't admit
you were the ones that wrote me off
it's ok
i forge my mettle day by day
not content
to ever settle for the same
you always doubted what I knew that I could do
but I knew
now so do you
your doubt couldn't quell my flame it was its fuel
and it grew
thanks to you
to all of those that told me no
i told you so
i told you so
( x 4)
i told you so
i told you so

Mask

i put on my mask
so that you can't see past my act
i follow the script
i just read the lines i'm given
at least i'm seen as one of them
but things aren't always what they seem
one of the cast
the only one who has to act
pretending to laugh
at every joke that i can't stand
below i'm coldly staring back
but all they see is still my mask
i can see what
you can see, but
you can't see what's
underneath the
mask i see through
just to be who
you need me to
to appease you
ignoring the itch
to scratch away this false image
i'm wondering if
my disguise was even made to fit?
can i survive under the weight of it?
is it too great a load to lift?
the weight of the lies
starting to crack my rusty guise
the end is in sight
the last performance is tonight
the mask comes off for the first time
they'll see a me that they don't recognize
i can see what
you can see, but
you can't see what's
underneath the
mask i see through
just to be who
you need me to
to appease you
i can see what
you can see, but
now you see what's
underneath the
mask i wore to
conform to
what i ought to
cause you all do
now
curtain's coming down
lights are going out
i take my final bow
they can see me how
how i am without
the mask they knew so well
staring at the crowd
mirroring themselves
can they even tell?
they're wearing them as well
you're wearing one as well
can you even tell?
i can see what
you can see, but
you can't see what's
underneath the
mask i see through
just to be who
you need me to
to appease you
i can see what
you can see, but
now you see what's
underneath the
mask i wore to
conform to
what i ought to
cause you all do

Glutton For Punishment
06:52
|

when will i get wise
and see the darks in your eyes
your beauty leaves me blind
you can lead me down the path
i can't control
myself
i take the bait
hook line every time
with just a word
a look
a lie
and you can bend me to your will
cause i'm a glutton
a glutton for your punishment
still i can't refrain
only myself to blame
i can't abstain
junkie to the pain
it's like i know no shame
i'm deceived by hollow promises
believed cause all i want is this
you feed me and i swallow it
then you leave me for him on a whim
but your appetite to get off again
can't be satisfied by what he's offering
so your batting eyes still go wandering
back to what i have got to give
yeah you came to cum
now you cum you run
the game you've won
not ashamed to shun me again
still i keep coming back for more
cause i'm a glutton
a glutton for your punishment
like a moth into the flame
cause i'm a glutton
a glutton for your punishment

of limbo Long Beach, California
In 2013, brothers Jake and Luke Davies formed of limbo - a versatile and refreshingly modern rock band, contrary to the generic and stale trends surrounding them at the time. Having a reputation for their wild and dynamic performances, they show a presence reminiscent of grunge groups from the 90s. Their latest song "Let's Go" released in late 2022. Watch "of limbo" in the years to come. ... more
