These Bones - 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 subte as shards of glass
In the skin

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

CHORUS:
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 afew 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

CHORUS

But I know
They're only my second home

No you won't go down alone(x4)

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

CHORUS(x2)

For these bones
'Cause I know
That you won't go down alone
