Bones Are Breaking Lyrics - Singles - Poor Old Lu

This song has always been one of my favorites, for some reason. It wasn't a single. We didn't really play it in concert (just once, that I can remember). It rarely stuck out to people as a "strong" song off of the album, but I always liked it. I think the recording (with the preceeding *mess-up*) is very cool. I always dug the really large 'tom' drums at the beginning *AND* the bridge remains one of my personal favorites! 

Lyrically this song is pretty straight forward, I think. It talks about our usual difficulties, that is, being "worn out" and dealing with a new day ('is it daybreak'). The chorus wraps up the essence of the problem, "i can't hold this weight upon my shoulders anymore...". What this song does very differently is it wraps up the solution in the bridge... in (4) short lines... "so I.... give all.... to You.... my God". That's it. Enough said. 

is it daybreak? i'm sure 

and you're feeling weary 

there is so much, i know 

it's just got to end soon 

well, i can't hold this weight 

upon my shoulders anymore 

my bones are breaking 

hands are shaking 

with everything 

are you worn out? i'm sure 

not happy nearly 

too far in such to know 

you just have to break soon 

well, i can't hold this weight 

upon my shoulders anymore 

my bones are breaking 

hands are shaking 

with everything 

so i 

give all 

to you 

my God 

well, i can't hold this weight 

upon my shoulders anymore 

my bones are breaking 

hands are shaking 

with everything 

well, i can't hold this weight 

upon my shoulders anymore 

my bones are breaking 

my bones are breaking 

my bones are breaking 

my bones are breaking
