sweet bones

Thank you for fueling my art

Thank you for the wounded heart

So I’m tossing in your bones now

and churning them to dust

I’m tossing in your bones now

and swallowing my trust

Like those before you’ll move along

Without a thought you’ll carry on

So I’m tossing in your bones now

and watching as they fade

I’m tossing in your bones now

as I turn to run away

Aay, ay, ay

Oh, oh, oh

In my mind I’ve heard you say

A million times, a million ways

I don’t care about your bones, girl

I only want your flesh,

I don’t care about your bones, girl

I don’t care if they’re a mess

And because I know all too well

the games you play and the lies you sell

I’ll be crushing your sweet bones now

while wishing they were whole

I’ll be kissing your sweet bones now

While aching in my soul

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Time and time and time again

I hold out my hand to grasp the same end

Faster and faster and faster I go

As I close my eyes and pretend that I don’t know

Now I’m taking back all I said

The ways I’ve held you and all it ment

Because I’m letting go of all of your bones now

and laughing as they fall

I’m forgetting your sweet bones now

Because I don’t need them at all

I’m letting go of all of your bones now

and laughing as they fall

I’m forgetting your sweet bones now

No, I don’t need them at all
