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
