Dust & Bones (Redux)

Used to be a gunner type that hides behind a door
Picks up pieces that are left there on the shore
Used to be a runner that would awol any war
Leave dead the promises before I heard the roar

There was a time when I was dust and bones
I'd get into the deepest fire you'll ever know
There was a time when I was dust and bones
I'd get into the deepest hole you'll ever go

Used to be a glimmer up on top the beach and rock
Cold hard killer, barren face out in the fog
Used to be a figure that would hide beneath the docks
Back lane slitter, clean, done, broken and forgot

There was a time when I was dust and bones
I'd get into the deepest fire you'll ever know
There was a time when I was dust and bones
I'd get into the deepest hole you'll ever go

I have
I have
I have
I have

I've heard that you've blown in
But you won't kick the shit out of my dreams
Until I go under

I've been feeling this old higher love
That sits in the middle above
I've been feeling this old higher love
That sits in the middle above

I said a line about dust and bones
From a book about the deepest tale you'll ever know
