"Skin & Bones" lyrics

"Skin & Bones"

Lay your body down
Lay the old dress down
Weary hands and feet
Time's mistreated you, you say
You're just skin and bones
These days
These days

Digging yourself an early grave
Lying in the mud all day
I couldn't beleive that was you
At the end of the road '
You were see through

You can grow as high as the willow grows
Turn your roots from the soil to the sea
The ocean floor it holds the darkest parts of you
It's time that you let yourself breathe

Can you forget about the past
Is that what it meants to be free
I know now that these wounds won't last
Some people they're just not worth the grief
