BONES

Once someone told me,

“Your words build the house that you live in”

That your thoughts are the hammer

That drives in the nail

To be wary of weak-minded people

Who leave you feeling so small

And to only write kind lines on the wall

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home in these bones

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home in these bones

Do two broken people make one whole person?

Or do I have to find a way to be fine on my own?

Jump through my bedroom window

In hopes of finding myself

But she’s really good at hiding in her shell

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home in these bones

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home in these bones

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home of my own

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home

In these bones

You know independence ain’t all it’s cracked up to be

You gotta do laundry

Both for your clothes and for your mind

Practice at breaking habits is what it takes

For internal maintenance

Yeah, ‘cause trains of thought

Can’t roll on runaway tracks

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home in these bones

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home in these bones

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home of my own

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home

In these bones

Always in and out of love

With this dying soul, but

Wherever I go

I know I’m home

I’ll build a home in these bones

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home in these bones

I’ll build a home of my own

Leave me alone

And I’ll build a home
