The Telltales
 

Skin & Bone

Sinew, tissue, skin and bone
Between the two of us has grown
And you can pick at our heart thread
But it will hold us yet

You can lose all your hard-fought gain
Give your dark impulse full reign
You can fall to your newest low
Oh oh

If you should choose
To sink and drown
We both go down together
Cause our hands are tightly bound
You’ll never lose
This loyalty
When everyone deserts you
Little darling cling to me

I won’t breathe one clichéd word
Of all the sermons that you’ve heard
Nor fix you with that judging eye
For keeping bottles by

You can do all the things you swore
That you would not do anymore
All the things that have brought you low
Oh oh

You make your choice
To sink and drown
We both go down together
‘Cause our hands are tightly bound
I’ll give it voice
This loyalty
When everyone deserts you
Little darling cling to me
