Prison bars inside our homes Gone way too far this time It's skin on skin for skin tonight And I stand in plain sight I watch it drown Where the fires burn right beside, They'll burn it to the ground And we'll never know. Paper plates and dinner trays Stacked away, stomach groans. To see you see the sight of me Would surely break my bones I wash it down And the fires burned bright outside My house it's not a home And we'll never know. Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast If you never burn bright, if you never take flight you're always looking back. Swept away from holidays Had to learn to play pretend. A list to list a list of things I wish that I could send I toss it out The "once upon a time" for you never reached this blighted home And you'll never know. Momma said goodnight, tried her best to keep you warm The cold outside it broke her down, The fire gone, papa left so long ago And it's been so long, and it's been so long Wonder who you have to blame Sitting under this spotlight you find yourself ready for the change Prison bars inside our home Went way too far that night Was skin on skin for skin my son, And you stood in plain sight
Kevin, Thank you for 30 years of great memorable music
Best Singing voice this Planet will Ever know ! Candlebox Forever
One of the most Underrated bands coming out of the 90's scene. Fact.
i was about to comment that...
Their first album was epic.
True
@@annemaassen5576this album was epic too
My all time favorite Candlebox song
To me, is one of the top 5 ballads from candlebox
to me it's one of the top 5 of all times..
It's their best ballad, easily.
I wonder what it would have done in 1996.
Gary is spot on also Great drumming & pocket & the rest of the guys Islander & Kevin always tight & great dudes 💯🎼🥁🎸🎤❤️😎✌️
Thank you!!! Jeannie in Lakeport California 2024...
One of the best from Candlebox!
Love the fact that Kevin (lead singer) is wearing the merch of Catfish and the bottlemen. I guess art recongnizes art.
Love the clarity in his voice 🙃👍

I don't think there is a Candlebox song I don't like, this song is a great song, but Kevin's voice is amazing

Prison bars inside our homes
Gone way too far this time
It's skin on skin for skin tonight
And I stand in plain sight
I watch it drown
Where the fires burn right beside,
They'll burn it to the ground
And we'll never know.
Paper plates and dinner trays
Stacked away, stomach groans.
To see you see the sight of me
Would surely break my bones
I wash it down
And the fires burned bright outside
My house it's not a home
And we'll never know.
Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes
And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast
If you never burn bright, if you never take flight you're always looking back.
Swept away from holidays
Had to learn to play pretend.
A list to list a list of things
I wish that I could send
I toss it out
The "once upon a time" for you never reached this blighted home
And you'll never know.
Momma said goodnight, tried her best to keep you warm
The cold outside it broke her down,
The fire gone, papa left so long ago
And it's been so long, and it's been so long
Wonder who you have to blame
Sitting under this spotlight you find yourself ready for the change
Prison bars inside our home
Went way too far that night
Was skin on skin for skin my son,
And you stood in plain sight
Wouldn’t have the lyrics to miss you?
first of all, there is Candlebox.. then everybody else
Sub?
