Bones Lyrics

They’re going out to meet inside an empty house
To hatch a plan to run me out of town
They’ll come when I sleep

They’ll circle the house
Put cyanide into the water pipes
Wait till I walk out fall onto my knees
To surround me

Then they’ll drive me out
To the wasteland
To leave me for the wolves
To eat my face

We’ll sit and shiver the maggots eat out my eyelids and and my ears
We’ll sit and stare as the maggots eat out my eyelids and and my ears

They’ll laugh about it to my horror
When my body’s rotten and hollow
And the lights are finished on time
Nothing left except for my bones

i don't know about some of these lyrics. i am fairly certain Chris says "to surround me," and not "to some family."

either way, this song is incredible.

just a few corrections i noticed...

its "warehouse" instead of just "house" definitely "to surround me" "we'll sit and stare as the maggots eat out my eyelids and my ears" "when the rats are finished, i'm gone"

still not sure about the "to my horror" part...it doesnt quite sound like that. i guess we'll know next week.

This is a great song, however I think this is more accurate

They're all going out to meet inside an empty warehouse To hatch a plan to run me out of town They'll come when I sleep

They'll circle the house Put cyanide into the water pipes Wait till I walk out fall onto my knees To surround me

Then they'll drive me out To the wasteland To leave me for the wolves To eat my face

They'll sit and stare as the maggots eat out my eyelids and my ears They'll sit and stare as the maggots eat out my eyelids and my ears

They'll laugh about it to my horror When my body's rotten and hollow And the lights are finished on time Nothing left except for my bones

this song is so great, the breakdown at the end sounds like very old Saves The Day, like the stuff from Ups and Downs, but 10 years more mature and better and done perfectly

Cover art for Bones lyrics by Saves the Day

It's not "to my horror", it's "tomorrow".

there's a riff later in the song, sounds real ataris like, wow, a band i haven't mentioned in a long time. but regardless, this song is awesome, my favorite on the cd.

The bass line in the beggining is so sexy.
