Sometimes It's the Bone

from Heavy Manners by Sick Sick Birds

/

lyrics

Yeah, i know that i'm on the hook for all the things i said; for a thousand choked out promises; and desperate jokes make ugly friends with heels dug in; i know i ask for trust at a strange time.

The doubting profiteers, they're all coming clear; you've got to get it while you can; and for the disremembered, it's their finest hour; they're zeroed in on the buzzsaw.

We're looking for something that we can quantify; that can get us by; you've got to believe me this time; we're flipping the pillow onto the cold side; the relief of the war bride; we find assurance where we will

Here's to smiling through your teeth when you feel like throwing bricks; sometimes it's the bone! tears dried on the acrid side we gave up on the fix;
Sometimes it's the bone!

Sing a hateful song for all the hangers on until you find a real solution;
same song every night; we're gonna' say our prayers because it might turn out there is a god; it's fucking snowing in town; you can see it in the streetlights; it's still coming down even as the birds are coming home.
