All the black inside me Is slowly seeping from the bone

Artist- Kings of Leon
Song of the day- Pyro

It has been quite a while since a video has given me goosebumps but as I was watching today's song at the gym I almost had to stop running because there was something about this song and this story that shook me to the core. And it's hard to explain why because on the surface it's just some skeezy bar where the band plays. But it's like in a place, a dark undercurrent of life we never talk about but know exists. That somewhere right now these people, the homeless, the wasted, the people whose harsh life you can see on their face, the abusers, the child molesters, the "whores", the unwanted, the forgotten, there always there in the background but here you have to look right at them so intricate and slowly you see the darkness in them and the humanity. But it wasn't till the end of the video, where I understood the point, because I wasn't expecting it. It's the other part of life we choose not to think about. The end of it. Whatever you believe it ends somehow. And growing up in a christian private school I"ve been fascinated, horrified, and mostly chose to ignore how it will all end. The rapture, the apocalypse, the end of our life or every life the whatever you wanna call it won't happen when we expect it but maybe we'll just be sitting at home or in a bar or getting our ass kicked. On the surface it may not be a big deal, but the human spirit, the what comes next, that shakes you to the core.



Single book of matches,
Gonna burn what's standing in the way.
Roaring down the mountain,
Now they're calling on the fire brigade.
Bury all the pictures,
and tell the kids that I'm okay.
If'n I'm forgotten,
You'll remember me for today.

I won't ever be your cornerstone.
I...

All the black inside me
Is slowly seeping from the bone.
Everything I cherish
Is slowly dying, or it's gone.
Little shaken babies
And drunkards seem to all agree,
Once the show gets started,
It's bound to be a sight to see.

I won't ever be your cornerstone.
I don't wanna be here holding on.
I won't ever be your cornerstone.
I...

Watch her roll,
Can you feel it?
Watch her roll,
Can you feel it?

Watch her roll,
Can you feel it?
Watch her roll,
Can you feel it?

I won't ever be your cornerstone.
I don't wanna be here holding on.
I won't ever be your cornerstone.
I...
