Jesus Bones

Foundation starts to shake From the pounding full of angst And this door isn't holding back What's in destruction's wake I want to know how every bone will break How many breaths are left for me to take I try to hold the light but the darkness lies in wait How do I own it? How do I control it? Suffocate the breathing Cut the air flowing Grinding broken glass in between my teeth Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep Drive the nail in place It's the square route in a circle race Stubborn as I stand I am wound tightly, it's a classic case I want to know how every promise breaks Who's going to bet against the chips I've placed? Fix my focus with these notes on the page I try to hold the light but the darkness lies in wait Grinding broken glass in between my teeth Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep How do I own it? How do I control it? Suffocate the breathing Cut the air flowing Wounds won't heal Until the dirt's cleaned out
