These Bones

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 you won't go down alone
