lyrics

BONES
Back in my past. That’s where I left my good sense.
I used to help. Now that’s me with my fingers outstretched.
I can’t believe the ashtray’s full. Am I that tense, or am I just getting dull?

Somehow I know...I can hear my feet walking.
Somehow I know...I can feel my chest pounding.

Dry bones can live. Her fingers slipped right through my hands.
She wants something new. Well, what about some other man?

Somehow I know...I can hear my feet walking.
Somehow I know...I can feel my chest pounding.
Everything that I hold dear is here in your eyes.

Dreams leave a hole where there should be fire that burns.
There’s nothing to say when no one’s invented the words.
I walk outside. Watch the moon, hear the wind in the trees.
There’s always a way I can pull myself through times like these.

Somehow I know...I can hear my feet walking.
Somehow I know...I can feel my chest pounding.
Everything that I hold dear is here in your eyes.

Back in my past.
Dry bones can live.
Dreams leave a hole.
I walk outside.
