These Bones Lyrics - Shade Of Poison Trees - Dashboard Confessional

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 

Photos 

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
