[Intro]
So many nights I've lied alone
Wondering what I could have done
A corpse in the corner and cobwebs abundance
These bones in me remain but small and pearlescent
I am but full of putrid rot
Left to the vultures to where time forgot
The ashes from cigarettes stained both my eyes
There's static that buzzes with daylight's demise
[Verse 1]
The restless ghosts of arguments past
They stifle sobs behind my lips
An altar of whiskey bottles beckons the tithes of children
The blood drips from my fingertips
[Pre-Chorus]
Make my burial in the floor under my home
The neighbors at the viewing share my body on the phone
My body bloats and grows, misshapen from what I know
And if you cut me open, then you'll see what hue I glow
[Chorus]
If only you knew how you scared the living shit out of me
Maybe then I'd feel complete
Standing above me, no Lord of Mercy
Granting me any peace, oh
All my nightmares lead where my tiny pink bones are rattling
Safely under lock and key
What's truly ugly isn't just skin deep
See what's rotting in me
[Bridge]
Stop it, I beg you, I want to be alone
Your vileness has turned this hell into my very home
You hurt me, you hate me, in turn, I hate you too
I admit it, I'm helpless and I don't know what to do
[Verse 2]
Something's very wrong, I said, my body's stained in green and red
The filth won't ever wash away
The trust that I'd given you, you fucked me up I know it's true
My mind won't age another day
[Pre-Chorus]
Wallpaper to mold, cotton blankets rot in cold
The demon on my shoulder, it will haunt me till I'm old
My body bloats and grows, misshapen from what I know
They'll never hear the noises from these pink and tiny bones
[Chorus]
If only you knew how you scared the living shit out of me
Maybe then I'd feel complete
Standing above me, no Lord of Mercy
Granting me any peace, oh
All my nightmares lead where my tiny pink bones are rattling
Safely under lock and key
What's truly ugly isn't just skin deep
See what's rotting in me
[Pre-Chorus]
So many nights I've cried and said
Would it be best if I was dead
A corpse in the corner and cobwebs abundance
The skin that I live in is loose and repellent
I am but full of putrid rot
My pain and my tears, this is all that I've got
Your face in those pictures is what I despise
I don't know why to me you gave me those eyes
[Chorus]
You know it's true, that you scarred the living hell out of me
It's all just so plain to see
Standing above me, you saw to hurt me
No matter what I'd plea, oh
All my nightmares lead where my tiny pink bones are rattling
Rocking up against my teeth
Tears ever blooming, sorrow commands these
Bones to never release me
