The Ballad of My Bones

from The Box Tiger by The Box Tiger

/

lyrics

I fell asleep with the lights on babe

I heard my heart beat slow

I was afraid to let my dreams out

For fear they’d never grow

Magic marker washable heartache

Is all I seem to know.

So drink my tears they go down easy

It's your favorite taste I know. 



We’ve got away with all these things

They can’t take what life won't bring

It eats away at all our sins
Until
bones become the only things.



Let's rearrange our aggressive minds 

And freeze them in the snow

I see through the hurt and the lies

I started to go cold

But am I washed up, you said

"Babe just clean up"

But I feel
stung out. 


We’ve got away with all these things

They can’t take what life won't bring

It eats away at all our sins until
bones become the only things.



I’ve got a man who lives inside

Lives inside my freedom

It’s a warm place, safe place to hide 

Call on him when you need it. 



Bones become the only things.
