lyrics

Dressed in white I keep a look out
They’ll drop a fist upon my door
I keep a packed suitcase
And a crawlspace in the floor

To my maker I’ll go stomping
Extolling all my sins
Though I am not guilty
There is no honor in the innocent

Howlin’ men turn the tide
The lost don’t get closer, they hide
There’s proof in these bones, bones
My love’s in these bones

There’s a peace in the foundry
I will work ‘till the work gets done
Build my armor out of shrapnel
This thing that has survived the gun

Now no wars can leave us bloody
Because we’re bleedin’ all the time
Still I’ll give up all my plenty
To make things better down the line

Howlin’ men turn the tide
The lost don’t get closer, they hide
There’s proof in these bones, bones
My love’s in these bones
