Cold in My Bones

Work my fingers to the bones
All it ever got me was lonely
And I might've had you fooled
But I can't squeeze a drop from this stone
And I look in your eyes
How I hate you for it
Every beautiful word
Every beautiful note

Waste my time online checkin out the competition
Sometimes I wonder why
Why I even try at all
And the words don't come
And the feelings I don't recognize them
Just howl in my head
To make someone feel somethin

Doo da doodle oo
Doo dah doodle ooh doo
Doo dah doo oh

I've been beating on this box and strings
All day and all evening
I'm comin up short, pullin back fistfuls of noise
And the years roll by like perpetual motion
Sometimes quickly
Sometimes slow

The rain on the roof in the night
Like blood circulating
We rise and fall like the breath of the world
And the heat the pavement holds flows down into the gutters
I feel the cold start for my bones
I feel the cold start for my bones
I feel the cold start for my bones
I feel the cold start for my bones
