The House Of Gold & Bones Lyrics
Oh this is what its coming to
Another waterloo
You wanna put me underground
'Cause I'm overused
Giving up as you're pulling me down
I will make you come unglued
You can cover me in subtleties
What an effigy
I can fake it 'cause you'll never be real to me
I'm innocent, I know I'm near the end
But if I can't understand I will never win
The more I know my mind
The more I leave you all behind
Living in the shadow of doubt
I'll never obey, but I'll always decide
Oh my heart survived
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the house of gold and bones
Oh, you're the epitome
Of all the shit in me
And I'm surrounded by the people I will never be
Either way I've got nothing to prove
To a son of a bitch like you
Well this is hell and I wanted it
But I'm an idiot
Its a phase 'cus I know I'm illegitimate
Kill it
I wanna see it
I wanna feel it
I will be here forever
The more I know my mind
The more I leave you all behind
Living in the shadow of doubt
I'll never obey, and I'll always decide
Oh my heart survived
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the House of Gold and Bones
The more I know my mind
The more I leave this world behind
Living in the shadow of doubt
I'm already gone, I'm already alive
Oh my heart survived
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the house of gold and bones
Oh my heart survived
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the house of gold and bones
In the house of gold and bones
In the house of gold and bones
Another waterloo
You wanna put me underground
'Cause I'm overused
Giving up as you're pulling me down
I will make you come unglued
What an effigy
I can fake it 'cause you'll never be real to me
I'm innocent, I know I'm near the end
But if I can't understand I will never win
The more I leave you all behind
Living in the shadow of doubt
I'll never obey, but I'll always decide
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the house of gold and bones
Of all the shit in me
And I'm surrounded by the people I will never be
Either way I've got nothing to prove
To a son of a bitch like you
Well this is hell and I wanted it
But I'm an idiot
Its a phase 'cus I know I'm illegitimate
I wanna see it
I wanna feel it
I will be here forever
The more I leave you all behind
Living in the shadow of doubt
I'll never obey, and I'll always decide
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the House of Gold and Bones
The more I leave this world behind
Living in the shadow of doubt
I'm already gone, I'm already alive
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the house of gold and bones
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the house of gold and bones
In the house of gold and bones
In the house of gold and bones

I was wondering if this album was about Corey's personal struggles and after the Waterloo reference, I'm certain of it.
While Corey probably does insert some snippets from his personal experiences, and may use references to places/people, this album isn't about him. Its a concept album.

This could also be a reference to the Battle of Waterloo, not Waterloo, IA.

water loo = Waterloo Giving up that your pulling me down = Giving up and you're pulling me down You can cover me in sovilties = You can cover me in subtleties, no idea WTF "sovilties" is What an apogee = What an effigy To a song of a bitch like you = To a son of a bitch like you
also forgot to put the RU486 chant at the beginning
What gets me on this is "RU486" is actually Mifepristone. Which is a abortion pill that ends a pregnancy that is less than 7 weeks along.
