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 and seconds and minutes
Hours and hours of subtle 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
Theres a story hidden underneath if you dig in deep will you find relief of these bones
Shudder all night long
The hammer drops another stump of these bones
But I know they're only my second home

Naked 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
I've got a few words left burning holes on my tounge
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
Theres a story hidden underneath if you dig in deep will you find relief of these bones
Shudder all night long
The hammer drops another stump of 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
Theres a story hidden underneath if you dig in deep will you find relief of these bones

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
Theres a story hidden underneath if you dig in deep will you find relief of these bones

Cause I know that you won't go down alone
