Flesh and Bone

[Verse 1]

Caught in the side swipes, attention roulette

We already paid our debt

Label the outlier particularly well

And managed to keep our place

Itching your skin 'til it’s swollen and red

You never remember the price

Holding your heels just to balance the weight

Like only a liar can shake

[Chorus]

And you shone in a way

Right through my hands, despite my place

Until you woke from a trance

Echo my fear, it brought you here

So we can fade out

[Verse 2]

Sentencing might be a glorious day

We’re skipping the extra steps

Void the arrangements and bury the change

I’ll never be honest again

Oh at least you act so well

You’re still guilty in your home

Sirens speak over your veil

I’ll release all you’ve felt

[Chorus]

And you shone in a way

Right through my hands, despite my place

Until you woke from a trance

Echo my fear, it brought you here

So we can fade out

[Bridge]

It’s weighing me down

It’s crushing me down

It’s wearing me out

[Verse 3]

Itching your skin 'til it’s swollen and red

We never remember the price

The ossuary will overflow

A stench like nobody should know

Holding your heels just to balance the weight

Like only a liar can shake

Taken by the garden snake

A sound like nobody should make
