Pirate Bones

Lyrics

What if I squeeze myself into any shape
 And I still don't fit?
 What if I bend myself so much that I break
 And I can't mend it?
 What if I burn so bright that the fire goes out
 And I can't stay lit?
 What's the point in it?
 I could get good at crying crocodile tears
 Just to get along
 I could carry on telling you what you want to hear
 Till my voice is gone
 But if I finally get to the place that I think is home
 And I don't belong
 What's the point in it?
 Where's the benefit?
 When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it?
 It's not worth having
 If it's too much to hold
 You can dig so deep
 That you're left with a hole
 Thirsty in the desert with a bag full of gold
 Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
 What I thought was treasure
 Is just a pile of stones
 I might have the treasure
 But I'd be lying alone
 Just a pile of pirate bones
 If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having
 If it's something I stole it ain't worth having
 What if I stake everything I am on a dream
 And it's counterfeit?
 If I reach the end that justifies the means
 Could I live with it?
 And if it's true that having too much of any good thing
 Can only make me sick
 What's the point in it?
 Where's the benefit
 When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it?
 It's not worth having
 If it's too much to hold
 You can dig so deep
 That you're left with a hole
 Thirsty in the desert with a bag full of gold
 Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
 What I thought was treasure
 Is just a pile of stones
 I might have the treasure
 But I'd be lying alone
 Pirate bones
 If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having
 If it's something I stole it ain't worth having
 It's not worth that much to me
 If losing out is what it means
 To swim in shallow victory is empty (empty)
 It's just not worth the price
 It's only a fool's paradise
 If it's draining every drop of life
 Till I'm dry like pirate bones
 (It's not worth having)
 It's not worth having
 If it's too much to hold
 You can dig so deep
 That you're left with a hole
 Thirsty in the desert with a bag full of gold
 Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
 What I thought was treasure
 Is just a pile of stones
 I might have the treasure
 But I'd be lying alone
 Just a pile of pirate bones
 If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having, no
 (Pirate bones)
 Pirate bones
 (While the thought was treasures)
 (Just a pile of stones)
 Pirate bones
