lyrics

I am the one calling you at night
I come riding on the pale moonlight
I am the knocking at your door
I am the body you’ve forgotten lying on the floor

I am the flower that refused to bloom
I am the sun that sets too soon
I am the fly sleeping on the wall
I am everything that is
I am nothing at all

I am the thorn sticking in your side
I am your self-destructive, swollen pride
I am the blood sucked from the land
I am an unborn child, a sacrificial lamb

I am your ever-growing indignation
I am your pickpocket inspiration
And I am big, so big you see
Without you there is no me

My bag of bones
Bring your body on home
Sweet heart of stone
You’ve gone and left me all alone

You are the earth under my feet
You are the house across the street
You are a silver dream so sweet
You are a secret so discreet

You are the beat to which my heart pounds
You are the roots that keep me ground
You are the skin in which I’m free
Without you there is no me

My bag of bones
Bring your body on home
Sweet heart of stone
You’ve gone and left me all alone

I am the muscle, the bone, the fat
I am the horns under your hat
We are entwined you know it’s true
Without me there is no you
