lyrics

I'm gonna hold your feet up to the fire
But you say, "It ain't that easy, boy..."
I know, you're preaching to the choir
We've gotta get that weight up off your chest
You're a human being after all
To hell with all the rest

I want it all:
Everything about you, want it all
Your future and your past, I want it all
Your bruises and your scabs, I want 'em all
Give me the dirt inside your soul

As a wild kid, did you feel alive?
Did you see yourself for who you were or did you lock it all inside?
Did you find your place in rebel lands?
Did you feel at home against the wall or did you ask someone to dance?

I don't care at all:
Everything about you, want it all
Your future and your past, I want it all
Your bruises and your scabs, I want 'em all
Give me the dirt inside your soul

I dreamt last night of suicide
I woke up in a cool sweat but at least I was alive
Fear nothing, kid - it's sticks and stones
I may be half a world away but I'll always have my phone

I want it all:
Everything about you, want it all
Your future and your past, I want it all
Your bruises and your scabs, I want 'em all
Give me the dirt inside your soul

Prison On A Hill
by Somos

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Dirt Inside Your Soul”

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs
