Bones and Skin

This lovely day feels like a prison

This ringing phone pretends I'm not home

This callous gasp at what we've been given

Is all I have left, just leave me alone

There upon wreckage you found me

Barely awake and not wanting to be

I was just bones and skin till you let me in

A broken heart can still bleed

When the longest roads tend to bend skyward

The smallest waves feel stronger than you

A lover's name stays in your atmosphere

Long after all of the loving is through

Here beyond rhyme, above reason

Feeling alive oh if just for a day

I was all bones and skin till you let me in

A broken hand can still play

Well a change in leaves can feel like such harmony

Wind in the rain can be a new part

A memory sent ten times around the world

Somehow will find it's way to your heart

Salt fills the air and I wonder

How far away I've wandered to see

All of my bones and skin that were giving in

A faded mind that you freed

There in the wreckage you found me

Barely awake and not wanting to be

I was just bones and skin till you let me in

A heart no longer in need
