about

Bloody Bones can be found lurking in Florida's swamp, screaming late in the night, waiting for you to misbehave so your grandmother will throw you out to him. He usually hangs out with his best friend, Rawhead. If you talk to a drunk guy in Tallahassee named Gator, he'll tell you he thinks Bloody Bones was really a black panther that roamed the swamp he grew up in, but he can never be too sure.

lyrics

You haven't cleared your name, yet.
Where there aren't watchdogs,
There are wolves, where there aren't wolves,
There'll always be thieves.
You haven't cleared your named, yet.
You're calling over the lower case letters
To quiet for sleep.

Bloody Bones is calling from the dark wood,
Bring your children to me.

You haven't left her house, yet.
You're scrubbing shadows that flicker
Through windows to get it all clean.
You haven't left her house, yet.
And you are sick for the one you never loved,
And miss the love you've never seen.

Bloody Bones is calling from the backyard,
Bring your lovers to me.

You're crawling back into your bed,
And count mosquitoes who needle your heartbeat on the screens.

Bloody Bones is calling from the backdoor,
Bring your wildest dreams.
Bloody Bones is calling from the backyard.
Bloody Bones is calling from the dark wood
Bring them all to me.
Bloody Bones is calling.
