Bones of Me

Look ahead, I’m all you see
There’s not much but the bones of me
I’m struggling just to breathe in sometimes
There’s puppet strings inside of things
My chest is no exception
See me hold myself together, fall apart
To tell the truth, I must come clean
I don’t much like the bones of me
They’re growing frail and fragile so soon
It’s hard to speak when spoken to
My head is full and out of room
The elephant is blocking my view
Some days, I cannot get
These fragile bones out of my bed
Some days, I cannot get
These fragile bones out of my bed
All hail the great unbalanced boy
Transfixed and still, a windup toy
Don’t touch him, he may shatter and fall
He holds his arms right by his sides
His eyes are not for him to cry
He’s oh so very lonely, that’s all
Some days, I cannot get
These fragile bones out of my bed
Some days, I cannot get
These fragile bones out of my bed
You know I hate to destroy you
You know I hate to complain
You know I hate to upset you
You say you love me, and it perfumes the pain
I cannot get
These fragile bones out of my bed
Some days, I cannot get
These fragile bones out of my bed
Look ahead, I’m all you see
There’s not much but the bones of me
I’m struggling just to breathe in sometimes
There’s puppet strings inside of things
My chest is no exception
See me hold myself together, fall apart
