Flesh & Bone

Today would have been the perfect day to go to the beach

I'm on the sofa trying to get over a hate speech

We do not love ourselves the way the prophets teach

Even Jesus kept his feelings like a lamp in the dark

Until he flipped the tables over up in the market

Oh, mother, there are lamps but there are sparks

But I need to know

I don't need to be shown

I've gotta see it for myself

I've gotta learn it on my own

I need to know if I am flesh and bone

And am I still growing or full grown?

And am I still growing or full grown?

Oh no, yeah

She's coming up for the rising like the dark before dawn

She has come to her place and she feels like her love's gone

She has come of an age and a line should be drawn

He's walking around in a tank top getting caught in a bluff

Little boys do not cry, don't you think that you're hot stuff?

It's real tough when your daddy don't call you enough, oh

But I need to know

I don't need to be shown

I've gotta see it for myself

I've gotta learn it on my own

I need to know if I am flesh and bone

And am I still growing or full grown, honey?

And am I still growing, or am I full grown? Hey!

Oh, no

Striking matches to watch 'em burn in our childhood bedrooms

Little time, little water and light, little seed, every bud blooms

I've been striking matches to watch 'em burn

In my childhood bedroom, ooh

Little time, little water and light, little seed, every bud blooms

There are days I need to tell myself I'm doing alright

My inner child and my ego got caught up in a knife fight

I get nervous, and then I will get out of sight

And I get nervous and then I will get out of sight

There are days I need to tell myself I'm doing alright

My inner child and my ego got caught up in a knife fight

I get nervous and then I will get out

Out of sight

Out of sight

Out of sight

Out of sight

Out of sight

I get nervous and then I will get out of sight

There are days I need to tell myself I'm doing alright

My inner child and my ego got caught up in a knife fight

I get nervous and then I will get out of sight

I get nervous and then out of sight

'Cause everybody I came up with says that I'm going too slow

Oh, but it's cool though

And I can hear my people when I check out the show

I feel real low

'Cause I need to know

I don't need to be shown

I've gotta see it for myself

I've gotta learn it on my own

I need to know if I am flesh and bone

Am I still growing or am I full grown?

'Cause I need to know

Oh, I don't need to be shown

I gotta see it for myself

And learn it on my own

I need to know if I am flesh and bone

And am I still growing or full grown, honey?

And am I still growing, like ah

Hey!

(There are days I need to tell myself I'm doing alright)

Hey!

(My inner child and my ego got caught up in a knife fight)

Oh no, yeah

(I get nervous and then I will get out of sight)

(Woah, woah)

Oh, am I still growing or full grown?

Yeah!
