Jesus Bones

Foundation starts to shake

From the pounding full of angst

And this door isn't holding back

What's in destruction's wake?

I want to know how every bone will break

How many breaths are left for me to take

I try to hold the light

But the darkness lies in wait

How do I own it?

How do I control it?

Suffocate the breathing

Cut the air flowing

Grinding broken glass in between my teeth

Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep

Drive the nail in place

It's the square route in a circle race

Stubborn as I stand

I am wound tightly, it's a classic case

I want to know how every promise breaks

Who's going to bet against the chips I've placed?

Fix my focus with these notes on the page

I try to hold the light, but the darkness lies in wait

Grinding broken glass in between my teeth

Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep

Grinding broken glass in between my teeth

Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep

How do I own it?

Wounds won't heal

How do I control it?

Wounds won't heal

Suffocate the breathing

Wounds won't heal

Cut the air flowing

Wounds won't heal

Until the dirt's cleaned out

Wounds won't heal

Until the dirt's cleaned out
