"Bag Of Bones" lyrics

"Bag Of Bones"

Trying to drown my pain in an ocean of alcohol
That I poured myself
It feels so good, but I hate the taste
The bitter sweetness of regret and remorse
Worn down by apathy

What happened to me? Oh, God
What happened to me? (Oh, God)

When all my bridges burn
And I'm just ashes in an urn
Please, take my soul
But leave this broken bag of bones
(Take me, make me)
Into more than this hollow shell
I can't fight all my demons by myself
So, God, give 'em hell

(Give 'em hell, give 'em hell)

I'm done trying to do this on my own
I've got so many empty bottles that I've used to build this throne
It's a throne of waste, self-abuse, and distaste
Now I'm crawling to you, crying
I just wanna feel your grace

Take me out of the fire
Show me I was made for so much more than this
That I'm not worthless

When all my bridges burn
And I'm just ashes in an urn
Please, take my soul
But leave this broken bag of bones
(Take me, make me)
Into more than this hollow shell
I can't fight all my demons by myself
Oh, God

I've known for my whole life
It was You by my side
In the darkest of times, You're there holding the light
Whispering softly, "Hold on through the fight"
Maybe I wasn't ready
And I don't know if I am yet
But if You're still willing, please, take me
I'll place this bottle in your hands

When all my bridges burn
And I'm just ashes in an urn
Please, take my soul
But leave this broken bag of bones
(Take me, make me)
Into more than this hollow shell
I can't fight all my demons by myself
So, God (Show 'em hell)
