Bones Beside You

[Verse 1]
When I'm gone
Play a sad song
Let it drip through the cracks in the floor
Trace the dust on my old coat
You still sleep on my side of the war
You keep my boots by the window
My ring in a glass by the phone
Talking low to the dusk air
Like I just stepped out for a smoke
[Chorus]
You will never be alone
As long as you have my bones
Cold beside you in our bed
Where you lay your dread
Black sockets and a locket 'round my neck
(you kiss my death)
You will never be alone
As long as you have my bones
[Verse 2]
You turn down all the mirrors
Hang my shirt on your shaking frame
Every creak in the hallway
You still whisper my name
Red wine on the nightstand
Wilted roses in my old boots
You paint your mouth like a funeral
Then you talk to my suit
[Chorus]
You will never be alone
As long as you have my bones
Cold beside you in our bed
Where you lay your dread
Black sockets and a locket 'round my neck
(you kiss my death)
You will never be alone
As long as you have my bones
[Bridge]
[voices low
Drums half-time]
Count your fears on my fingers
Let your sorrow sink into my ribs
Let the pillows drink your nightmares
I'll keep everything you give
If the daylight feels like murder
If the silence chews your throat
Wrap your arms around my absence
Hear my promise in your bones
[Chorus]
You will never be alone
As long as you have my bones
Cold beside you in our bed
Where you lay your dread
Black sockets and a locket 'round my neck
(you kiss my death)
You will never be alone
As long as you have my bones
