Skin and Bones

So they’ll buy your lips and then they’ll steal your teeth
Your heart just isn’t where they quite see fit
So they’ll cut it from your chest bit by bit
Bit by bit
And once they’re done they’ll take your hand
and promise you you’ll never stand a chance
Sell my skin, sell my bones
I know you think it’s what you’re owed
Bleed me for what I’m worth until I’m gone (until I’m gone)
But as long as I’m still here
Prepare to live your life in fear
I’m taking back my goddamn skin and bones
They’re always watching, even in your sleep
They’ll take away your dreams
But nightmares, you can keep
The words you preach
They’re just a bit too loud
So they’ll twist them 'til they’re favored by the crowds
The crowds
And once they’re done they’ll take your hand
and promise you you’ll never stand a chance
Sell my skin, sell my bones
I know you think it’s what you’re owed
Bleed me for what I’m worth until I’m gone (until I’m gone)
But as long as I’m still here
Prepare to live your life in fear
I’m taking back my goddamn skin and bones
Sell my skin
Sell my bones
Bleed me until I’m gone
Sell my skin
Sell my bones
Bleed me until I’m gone
(And once they’re done they’ll take your hand)
Sell my skin
Sell my bones
I know you think it’s what you’re owed
Bleed me for what I’m worth until I’m gone (until I’m gone)
But as long as I’m still here
Prepare to live your life in fear
I’m taking back my goddamn skin and bones (skin and bones)
Sell my skin
Sell my bones
I know you think it’s what you’re owed
Bleed me for what I’m worth until I’m gone (until I’m gone)
But as long as I’m still here
Prepare to live your life in fear
I’m taking back my goddamn skin and bones (skin and bones)
I’m taking back my goddamn skin and bones (skin and bones)
I’m taking back my goddamn skin and bones
