bones, lying in a trunk at the foot of my bed
they're always open to show me that they're still dead
and everyday it's harder still
i am footed(?) and unfilled

pain, i'm good with the ways there are to erase
and i'm pancaked on the floor, you can't see my face
cuz it's buried like the moon
sober morning's come too soon

bruise, it's coming to the surface, like the vessel
it's been hidden for so long, you are the trestle
that's there to hoist me up
now this world without you is fucked

skin, and it's warm enough to hold you and keep you breathing
but it locks me out and makes me lose my needing
and how long to be alone
how will i carry these bones

and i'm so far from not caring x8

They're going out
to meet inside an empty warehouse
to hatch a plan to run me out of town
They'll come when I sleep

they'll circle the house
put cyanide into the water pipes
wait till I walk out fall onto my knees
to surround me

then they'll drive me out
to the wasteland
to leave me for the wolves
to eat my face

we'll sit and stare as the maggots eat out my eyelids and my ears.
we'll sit and stare as the maggots eat out my eyelids and my ears.

they'll laugh about it tomorrow
when my body's rotten and hollow
and the lights are finished on time
nothing left except for my bones
bones
bones
bones

What goes around comes around
Feel it breathin' down heavy on you
You made that bed you're layin' on
Deeds that you have done, now you cant undo

[Chorus:]
You've got bones in your closet
You've got ghosts in your town
Ain't no doubt, yeah, they're gonna come out
They're waiting for the sun to go down
You can't hide from your demons
Feel 'em all lurkin' around
You're runnin' scared 'cause you know they're out there
They're waiting for the sun to go down

It's a long hard row to hoe
When seeds that you sow grow by the wicked moon
Be sure your sins will find you out
Your past will hunt you down
And return to tell on you

[Chorus]

It all stands to reason
Every dog will have his day
But your day is leavin'
Better hold on tight
Here comes the night

[Chorus]

Her bones are buried in the backyard along with my integrity
I tested your honor you questioned my faith
Now look where you are you're right where you'll stay

Its time for you to know that I'm loathing
You'll never see me again

I can see your eyes have been wandering slowly
Do you have any last words?

Oh no I can see you've been lying through your teeth
Who's breathing now?

I hope your ready to leave this place cause you are going either way
We've fallen far too distant

All you were good for was everything but I guess that wasn't enough to keep you alive
I'm horrified by my potential
I am so capable of terrible things
I really hate goodbyes

There's no way that I could just let it slide
I did this to you
I did this to you

And all this time I never knew regret is for you
For you

Oh no I can see that you have been lying through your teeth
Who's breathing now?

I hope you are ready to leave this place cause you are going either way
We've fallen far too distant.

I'm ready to forget
I'm ready to forget
I'm ready to forget you

i've been through here many times but you've locked the door
you wanted more should have seeen this coming my
pictures off the wall with no phone call.
i've been through here many times but the path is gone
theres something wrong
didn't leave a letter when you wrote me off with no phone call.
bones and broken homes nowhere to lie down bones and broken
homes just rest my eyes now bones and broken homes
i'll be alrigt yeah bones and broken homes.
i've been through here many times

You can take my dry bones
Breathe life into this skin
You called me by name
Raised me to life again

[Verse 2:]
You can calm the oceans
Speak peace into my soul
Take me as I am
Awaken my heart to beat again

[Chorus:]
Oh Jesus
Oh Jesus
Oh Jesus
Alive in me

[Verse 3:]
You move in the unseen
You set the captives free
As I stand and sing
You're breaking the chains off me

[Bridge:]
Breathe in me Your life
I can feel You are close now
I can never hide
You are here and You know me
All I need is You
And I love You
I love You
I love You
I love You

Breathe in me Your life
'Til Your love overtakes me
Open up my eyes
Let me see You more clearly
Falling on my knees
'Til I love like You love
Like You love me
I love You

How can you always be late for your arrival?
You know I'd forgive you every single time

Retreat, retreat
I've fallen at the low tide
Oh retreat, retreat
And meet me by the quayside

In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through

Are your eyes showing off for mine
Your face in my hands is everything good I need

The system's put in place, put there to protect us
For you I'd throw a lifeline every time

Oh Retreat, retreat
I've fallen at the low tide
Now retreat, retreat
And meet me by the quayside

In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through

Are your eyes showing off for mine
Your face in my hands is everything good I need

Bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching heart
Full of love

Oh bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching heart
Full of love

Bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching heart

Bones

Oh bones

I watch as your eyes show off for mine
I watch as your eyes show off
I watch as your eyes show off for mine
I watch as your eyes show off

Call me unique, call me a fake
Call me your love, never the same
When I was young, nobody said
To open up and let this rain go through you
These feelings of a common son
Might never pass and never take control of you

But you're running out here
Yeah you're running out here

Steady yourself, down on your knees
All that you want, all that you feel
Can never break another bone
And never throw another stone at you from me

But you're running out here
Where no one's talking and no one's listening
Out here

The other says yes, the other says no
The other one stays, the other won't go
And put you in clothes and puts you in shows
The other one takes and nobody knows

But you're running out here
Where no one's talking and no one's listening
Out here
Where no one's talking and no one's listening
Out here

I don't wanna be crippled and cracked
Shoulders legs knees and back
Ground to dust and ash
Crawling on all fours

When you've got to feel that in your bones
When you've got to feel that in your bones

Now I can't climb the stairs
Pieces missing everywhere
Prozac painkillers

When you've got to feel that in your bones
When you've got to feel that in your bones

And I used to fly like Peter Pan
All the children flew when I touched their hands

They say you've got to feel that in your bones
They say you've got to feel that in your bones

Come with me.

We took a back road.
We're gonna look at the stars.
We took a backroad in my car.
Down to the ocean,
is only water and sand
And in the ocean we'll hold hands.

But I don't really like you, apologetically dressed in the best, but on a heartbeat glide.

Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky, and on the cold, wet dirt I cry.
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry.

Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones
on your bones?
It's only natural.

A cinematic vision ensued
like the holiest dream.
It's someone's calling?
An angel whispers my name,
but the message relayed is the same:
Wait till tomorrow,
you'll be fine.
But it's gone to the dogs in my mind.
I always hear them
when the dead of night
comes calling to save me from this fight.
But they can never wrong this right.

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin
on your skin?
It's only natural.

(Never had a lover)
I never had a lover
(Never had soul)
I never had soul
(Never had a good time)
And I never had a good time
(Never got cold)
I never got gold.

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It's only natural.
Come and take a swim with me.
Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It's only natural
