Bones

This will end in blood
Only these bones can stem this flood

These quiet walls descend into a restless Earth
And build for me this shallow tomb
An empty bed I toss and turn in tangled sheets
Keep me locked inside my head

I awoke
With nothing more than blood and bones

I've been dying to take this
And cut it to pieces
I can't fight this feeling any longer
It constantly haunts me
And I can't sleep at night
I don't ever want to close my eyes

Who knows what hides within the corners of this space
All the hurt I can't erase
And in my dreams
My teeth fall out
The silence of this room is deafening
I long to scream out loud but always forget to breathe

My pulse it pushes and pulls
While my heart is skipping beats again
My bones a prison and a home
And I've never owned the key

The night gets cold
My eyes grow tired and old
And I fall
Like my empty glass of Aperol

And I'll never sleep at night
I'll never want to close my eyes

I'll dig another hole
Bury these bones
