God Bones

Our dreams deflate to the tune of a hiss
They still buzz round your head like insects with a death wish
You were liquored up on whiskey and drunk on love
Our dreams deflate to the tune of a hiss
They still buzz round your head like insects with a death wish
You were liquored up on whiskey and drunk on love
Hell was hot underneath and Heaven heavy above
I couldn’t tell you why I lie like I do
Sometimes I’m not sure who I am
There is thunder in his eyes and lightning in his fists
And he’s strangling me with the water tied around his wrists
And I am living and dying in a lie (and alive)
If you find the bones of God would you show them to me?
Because if it isn’t true then it ain’t worth believing
You can throw me in the water and tell me to swim
But if God cries tears then drown me in them
