Plead your case Please if you understand the task at hand You're more than welcome to begin My cleverness unravels all around me While I try to gather all the lies that came together so well A mural of illness that only I can see through strained eyes We can't be fighting We can't all be burning All we are is hurt All our dreams are fading as we're dying Please if you understand all the words and all the fear Tear the ropes that bind me To my grave I may look like d**h But I ain't no slave Shattered bones (love) Broken skin (lust) I'm alone, all alone All I've got are my bones and the gun on my hip And a suit that I fear I will be buried in I struggle on with a song in my throat And a name on my lips that I dare not speak All I've got are my bones All I've got are my bones and skin
