Lyrics Skin and Bones - Steady Hands

Skin and Bones

I took your heart through an amusement park
That I’m betting you wouldn’t want to go back
So I filled my guts with some degenerate stuff
With your finger pointed down my throat
So shake me to the bone
You can take my fucking heart and leave us both the hell alone
'Cause my blood’s been getting thinner
All my limbs are feeling numb
As I need you more than I need these skin and bones
See, I’ve been counting down these days
And we both turned the other cheek
'til we were spitting out teeth
I let this love turn into lust
And somehow, everyone got fucked
It’s just that certain type of luck
So shake me to the bone
You can take my fucking heart and leave us both the hell alone
'Cause my blood’s been getting thinner
And my limbs are feeling numb
But I need you more than I need these skin and bones
So beat me up and kick my ass
I’ve been a wreck since I last left
Let me explore
'cause I’m pretty sure the world’s worth fighting for
One of these days, you’ll come back
Retie this noose around my neck
And I’m pretty sure
That I hate myself but I love you more
So shake me to the bone
Give me back my fucking heart
You’ve had it long enough on a rope
'Cause the weather ain’t getting better
Can’t afford to be alone
This ain’t my end, my lovely skin and…
So shake me to the bone
You can take my fucking heart and leave us both the hell alone
'Cause my blood’s been getting thinner
And my lungs have turned to stone
But I need you more than I need these skin and bones
