lyrics

I’m taking steps to go down tonight so carve my name with a knife in the Sycamore tree
I’ve got nowhere left to go, no one left to see, nothing but the dirt underneath, my, feet

Well I got two small birds in a bush for the devil, one pushed in my hand for me,
I’ve got a hole in my heart, where it makes no sound, gonna jump out my bones and I'll dance around

Six feet down in a box in the ground,
Gonna jump out my bones and dance around

Down I’ma take meself down,
Jump down a hole where I can’t be found
My broke old heart gonna make no sound, heya~
Down I’ma take meself down,
Jump through the loops that I tied around
My feet walkin’ on air gonna make no sound, heya~


Well I’ve been around long enough to know I belong in a box in the left with the lid left on
Out to the shed then down in the ground, put me deep in a hole where I can’t be found.

Six feet down in a box in the ground,
Gonna jump out my bones and dance around

Down I’ma take meself down,
Jump down a hole where I can’t be found
My broke old heart gonna make no sound, heya~
Down I’ma take meself down,
Jump through the loops that I tied around
My feet walkin’ on air gonna make no sound, heya~

I’m gonna disappear,
Tomorrow I’m gonna feel no fear
I’m gonna disappear,
Tomorrow I’m gonna feel nooooooo fear, no no no.
I'm gonna go

Joel Reed Mankey Los Angeles, California

I'm a human who lives on earth and in my brain. I make music and love to hear other peoples music. My main focus is acoustic and traditional musics and fusions of them, but I kinda like EVERYTHING. I have a big background in audio engineering and woodworking, so I build instruments and produce records too, but this page is where I keep my ME ONLY projects. I hope you like them! ... more
