Song lyrics These bones by Dashboard Confessional

Lay my bones
At the feet of the ministry
I need the guilt and the company
I need the chance to be judged
And then long forgotten

Lately I just can´t shake it
I count the days in seconds and minutes
Hours and hours are subtle as shards of glass
In the skin

So lay with me
I could use the company
You could help me ease

These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth

There´s a story hidden
Underneath
If you dig in deep
Will you find relief?

For these bones
Shudder all night long
The hammer drops
Another scar
For these bones
But I know
They´re only my second home.

Naked and under the cover of night
It´s just a matter of time ´til I´m
Counted and measured and filed
And then long forgotten

Forgive my manner of speaking
I know it´s quick, but the clock is still ticking
And I´ve got a few words left burning holes on my tongue
I´ve been saving them

So lay with me
I could use the company
You could help me ease

These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth

There´s a story hidden
Underneath
If you dig in deep
Will you find relief?

For these bones
Shudder all night long
The hammer drops
Another scar
For these bones

But I know
They´re only my second home

No you won´t go down alone
No you won´t go down alone
No you won´t go down alone
No you won´t go down alone

So lay with me
I could use the company
You could help me ease

These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth

There´s a story hidden
Underneath
If you dig in deep
Will you find relief?

These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth

There´s a story hidden
Underneath
If you dig in deep
Will you find relief?

For these bones
´Cause I know
That you won´t go down alone
