Rust and Bone

Leave me where you found me With the arms of the darkness surrounding, around me Throw dirt in my eyes and try convincing me My love is blind I lost you in the rubble like a diamond to the rough Or a face beneath the stubble when the times are tending tough I'm giving up, on giving up Here we lay to rest a younger man than the one I now am I now am half the one he was when I smothered him beneath my skin Curse my fickle heart, my stubborn ways, my foolish pride Wondering if ever there a better way to live or least some better way to die Today is the first day of the rest of my life Today is the first day of the rest of my life I'm learning how to die I set my sails for safer waters, I left my love for higher ground, don't look down I am watching from above, you sinking like a stone I let you drown, I let you drown Down on luck like a sinner feeling sorry for myself Preacher man says if I'll be damned you're going straight to hell Your god don't love you anymore My god, don't you love me anymore I am feeling I'm not where I am going I am feeling I'm not where I am going I am feeling I'm not where I am going Or what I am going to become The air is static in the attic where the ghosts of our past live, they are rust and bone, rust and bone I still think of you out of habit like some kind of madness, but I am letting go, I'm letting go Of all my reasons for fear of failure, my demons beneath me screaming let me out, let me out But I'm buried beneath the covers with the ghosts of my lovers thinking never or now, never or now I'm losing sleep, I lost you once, I wont lose you now again I'll scream and shout till my lungs give out, till the blood runs cold beneath the skin Forever my love Forever my love Forever my love Forever my friend
