Moss and Bones
My voice ain't what it used be
Way back when I was seventeen
And my hands don't work as good
As they did when I was 23
There's a piece of my soul in every song I write
A piece of my heart to make it feel alright
I can't take with me what I didn't bring in
My life will end the way it began
It might be soon I'll have to leave again
To see if I'm forgiven for all of my sins
I'll leave behind everything I own
Back to the earth all moss and bones
I put up a front like I'm alright
But the truth is that I cried last night
For the fear of the way things are going
Darkness and the all unknowing
I'm a man of pride and a child of shame
And I don't know how to play this game
But I know right before I go
I'll pray the lord takes my soul
It might be soon I'll have to leave again
To see if I'm forgiven for all of my sins
I'll leave behind everything I own
Back to the earth all moss and bones
You can have my body you can have my flesh
Let me decide who gets the rest
Be it god, the devil, or the great unknown
You rest easy 'cause I'm not alone
It might be soon I'll have to leave again
To see if I'm forgiven for all of my sins
I'll leave behind everything I own
Back to the earth all moss and bones
It might be soon I'll have to leave again
To see if I'm forgiven for all of my sins
I'll leave behind everything I own
Back to the earth all moss and bones
Way back when I was seventeen
And my hands don't work as good
As they did when I was 23
There's a piece of my soul in every song I write
A piece of my heart to make it feel alright
I can't take with me what I didn't bring in
My life will end the way it began
It might be soon I'll have to leave again
To see if I'm forgiven for all of my sins
I'll leave behind everything I own
Back to the earth all moss and bones
I put up a front like I'm alright
But the truth is that I cried last night
For the fear of the way things are going
Darkness and the all unknowing
I'm a man of pride and a child of shame
And I don't know how to play this game
But I know right before I go
I'll pray the lord takes my soul
It might be soon I'll have to leave again
To see if I'm forgiven for all of my sins
I'll leave behind everything I own
Back to the earth all moss and bones
You can have my body you can have my flesh
Let me decide who gets the rest
Be it god, the devil, or the great unknown
You rest easy 'cause I'm not alone
It might be soon I'll have to leave again
To see if I'm forgiven for all of my sins
I'll leave behind everything I own
Back to the earth all moss and bones
It might be soon I'll have to leave again
To see if I'm forgiven for all of my sins
I'll leave behind everything I own
Back to the earth all moss and bones
