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
