Bones

(album: How To Survive A Funeral - 2020)

I can't breathe

I can't breathe, and I'm terrified of falling asleep
To meet the shadows that've been haunting my dreams
A reflection of all that I am for all to see
(Shed my skin, for all to see, shed my skin)

I want to drown my lungs in plastic
I want to fill this gaping hole
And when it all comes back to haunt me
I want the pain to take its toll

Another trophy for the hall of regrets
Another night to forget (Another night to forget)
Another consequence of actions repressed
Waking up in sweats

Mend me. Make me proud. Motivate me
Bend me. Break me down. Suffocate me
Take all of it. Take all of me

Shed my skin. Take me from my home
I give all I am. I give all I own
Shed my skin. Steal my heart again
Take from me my bones

Cast me down into the depths of depravity
Cast out to where the wanderers roam
Praised by the angels of tragedy
Loathed by the demons of hope

Take all of it, everything I own (everything I own)
Take all of it, come and steal my soul

Shed my skin. Take me from my home
I give all I am. I give all I own
Shed my skin. Steal my heart again
Take from me my bones
Take from me my bones
Take from me my bones
Take from me my bones

Take from me my bones
