Brittle Bones

Nobody gave me the warning sign
Now I need to be loved 'til I lose my mind
I need to be crushed into dust so fine
Is it too much to ask for something nice

Lost my way at the crossroads
Of desperation and preservation
If you have advice, yeah
I could use some words of validation
Take the screams of the ambulance
As the death knell of my temptation to fold
Oh

My brittle bones can't stand this cold
Vacant echoes through a soundscape mind
I weigh upon my heavy soul
I'm not finished quickening
The pace at which I'm living, oh no
Oh no

Put your faith in fire
Strike a match, yeah it's a bitter method
Pull your weight with jokes
It's all illusory, just don't regret it
Hide yourself
Wonder why
All that's left of you is fossils
And triggers of your fight or flight
This city's cold and empty
It's lost its' charm completely
It wore me down, eroding
I turned to dust, but slowly
If I could warn you, child
Don't let your heart be mild
Wish I had known that back then
'Cause my

Brittle bones can't stand this cold
Vacant echoes through a soundscape mind
I weigh upon my heavy soul
I'm not finished quickening
The pace at which I'm living, oh no
Oh no

Put your faith in fire
Strike a match, yeah it's a bitter method
Pull your weight with jokes
It's all illusory, just don't regret it
(Don't regret it now, don't regret it now)
