[Verse 1]

Breathe in, breathe out, everybody scream "Fuck"

I know I've gone too far this time

My grandpa said, "Don't be afraid of death

He's just your oldest friend

Coming back for what he forgot"

I hope I forget all these lies

The books that I am reading are the ones that I've forgot

I tore out all of the pages along with my heart

And I spelled your name still

With the letters from the letters that I wrote

And I spelled out your name still

With the letters from the letters that I wrote


[Pre-Chorus]

See this body, see this body, see this body's not for me

And the way my bones are breaking is the way my skin will bleed

So I put out my fists, and you mark both my hands

With little x's that mean that I am extra unsafe


[Chorus]

Where did your spine go?

I know I've got none

Is it your heart that breaks first?

Fragile bones

Where did your spine go?

I know I've got none

Is it your heart that breaks first?

Fragile bones


[Verse 2]

And she is playing on the playground

And she is playing on the swings (She is playing on the swings)

She is learning words like 'fuck' and 'hate'

And I know just what it means

It means she's just like her mom

She'll end up lonely and sad

She'll end up alone with rings

With rings in her mouth

With guns in her house

With holes in her heart

Hey, Kid


[Outro / Chorus]

Where did your spine go?

I know I've got none

Is it your heart that breaks first?

Fragile bones

Where did your spine go?

I know I've got none

Is it your heart that breaks first?

Fragile bones

Where did your spine go?

I know I've got none

Is it your heart that breaks first?

Fragile bones

Where did your spine go? (See this body, see this body, see this body's not for me)

I know I've got none (And the way my bones are breaking is the way my skin will bleed)

Is it your heart that breaks first? (See this body, see this body, see this body's not for me)

Fragile (And the way my bones are breaking is the way my skin will bleed)

Fragile bones
