Rust and Bone

Leave me where you found me
 With the arms of the darkness surrounding, around me
 Throw dirt in my eyes and try convincing me
 My love is blind
 I lost you in the rubble like a diamond to the rough
 Or a face beneath the stubble when the times are tending tough
 I'm giving up, on giving up
 Here we lay to rest a younger man than the one I now am
 I now am half the one he was when I smothered him beneath my skin
 Curse my fickle heart, my stubborn ways, my foolish pride
 Wondering if ever there a better way to live or least some better way to die
 Today is the first day of the rest of my life
 Today is the first day of the rest of my life
 I'm learning how to die
 I set my sails for safer waters, I left my love for higher ground, don't look down
 I am watching from above, you sinking like a stone
 I let you drown, I let you drown
 Down on luck like a sinner feeling sorry for myself
 Preacher man says if I'll be damned you're going straight to hell
 Your god don't love you anymore
 My god, don't you love me anymore
 I am feeling I'm not where I am going
 I am feeling I'm not where I am going
 I am feeling I'm not where I am going
 Or what I am going to become
 The air is static in the attic where the ghosts of our past live, they are rust and bone, rust and bone
 I still think of you out of habit like some kind of madness, but I am letting go, I'm letting go
 Of all my reasons for fear of failure, my demons beneath me screaming let me out, let me out
 But I'm buried beneath the covers with the ghosts of my lovers thinking never or now, never or now
 I'm losing sleep, I lost you once, I wont lose you now again
 I'll scream and shout till my lungs give out, till the blood runs cold beneath the skin
 Forever my love
 Forever my love
 Forever my love
 Forever my friend
