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
That you won´t go down alone
