Bound Boy Lyrics by [a]lliot

2020

[Verse 1]
It struck me as ironic
First time I ever thought
How a letter I am sure is wrong
Makes me so insecure

Are names really important?
And “yes”, I wish to scream
For how am I to react
When a name is all I’ve been

But names are merely symbols
Words on worthless papers
Yet somehow now a lifeless tree
Means more than its own maker

[Pre-Chorus]
They scream for atoms
Of attention
Or something deeper still
So deafened brutes in ironed suits
Makes dead trunk fall from quill

Mirror me
It’s screaming for attention
The waters shallow and then
Lest I forget
The lungs I don’t have
By now it’s in the deep end

[Chorus]
Fabric twines
Ribcage slowly dying
It can thrive
Forget the human lining
He is fine
He’s nothing but a bound boy
Strung up high
He’s nothing but a bound boy

[Verse 2]
Conditions are a barrier
To all that wish to change
Yet even in our darkest times
We fall deeper again

Screams are all that dominate
The smallest are drowned out
The liquid confidence that lingered
Poured straight out the spout

But we are all united
And other lies are told
Division is the rampant theme
If you don’t fit a mould

[Pre-Chorus]
They scream for atoms
Of attention
Or something deeper still
So deafened brutes in ironed suits
Makes dead trunk fall from quill

Mirror me
It’s screaming for attention
The waters shallow and then
Lest I forget
The lungs I don’t have
By now it’s in the deep end

[Chorus]
Fabric twines
Ribcage slowly dying
It can thrive
Forget the human lining
He is fine
He’s nothing but a bound boy
Strung up high
He’s nothing but a bound boy

They don’t know
The ribcage slowly dying
It’s for show
Forget the human lining
He is fine
He’s nothing but a bound boy
He’s a lie
He’s nothing but a bound boy

[Verse 3]
Can you feel the rhythm of an army
Footsteps out of time
Some left and they go right
Don’t speak out, it’s all a crime

[Chorus]
Fabric twines
Ribcage slowly dying
He won’t thrive
Forget his human lining
He’s not fine
Nothing left of bound boys
Strung up high
Where are all the bound boys?
