Lay my bones
|
At the feet of the ministry
|
I need the guilt and the company
|
I need the chance to be judged
|
And then long forgotten
|
|
Lately I just can't shake it
|
I count the days in seconds and minutes
|
Hours and hours are subtle as shards of glass
|
In the skin
|
|
So lay with me
|
I could use the company
|
You could help me ease
|
|
These bones
|
Are like maps and keys
|
Where they took their hits
|
And they felt those teeth
|
|
There's a story hidden
|
Underneath
|
If you dig in deep
|
Will you find relief?
|
|
For these bones
|
Shudder all night long
|
The hammer drops
|
Another scar
|
For these bones
|
But I know
|
They're only my second home.
|
|
Naked and under the cover of night
|
It's just a matter of time 'til I'm
|
Counted and measured and filed
|
And then long forgotten
|
|
Forgive my manner of speaking
|
I know it's quick, but the clock is still ticking
|
And I've got a few words left burning holes on my tongue
|
I've been saving them
|
|
So lay with me
|
I could use the company
|
You could help me ease
|
|
These bones
|
Are like maps and keys
|
Where they took their hits
|
And they felt those teeth
|
|
There's a story hidden
|
Underneath
|
If you dig in deep
|
Will you find relief?
|
|
For these bones
|
Shudder all night long
|
The hammer drops
|
Another scar
|
For these bones
|
|
But I know
|
They're only my second home
|
|
No you won't go down alone
|
No you won't go down alone
|
No you won't go down alone
|
No you won't go down alone
|
|
So lay with me
|
I could use the company
|
You could help me ease
|
|
These bones
|
Are like maps and keys
|
Where they took their hits
|
And they felt those teeth
|
|
There's a story hidden
|
Underneath
|
If you dig in deep
|
Will you find relief?
|
|
These bones
|
Are like maps and keys
|
Where they took their hits
|
And they felt those teeth
|
|
There's a story hidden
|
Underneath
|
If you dig in deep
|
Will you find relief?
|
|
For these bones
|
'Cause I know
|
That you won't go down alone
|
