Dust & Bones

Used to be a gunner type that hides behind a door
Picks up pieces that are left there on the shore
Used to be a runner that would awol any war
Leave dead the promises before I heard the roar
Cause there was a time when I was dust and bones
I’d get into the fiercest fire you’ll ever know
There was a time when I was dust and bones
I’d get into the deepest hole you’ll ever know
Used to be a glimmer, up on top the beach and rock
Cold hard killer, barren face out in the fog
Used to be the figure that would hide beneath the docks
Back lane slitter, clean, done, broken and forgot
Cause there was a time when I was dust and bones
I’d get into the fiercest fire you’ll ever know
There was a time when I was dust and bones
I’d get into the deepest hole you’ll ever know
I have
I have
I have
I have
I’ve heard that you’ve blown in
But you won’t kick the shit out of my dreams
Until I go under
Cause I’ve been feeling this old higher love
That sits in the middle above
Cause I’ve been feeling this old higher love
That sits in the middle above
I said a line about dust and bones
From a book about the deepest tale you’ll ever know
