bare bones

Deep The heart of the summer Can't halt shallow breaths Roll And land on a number To choose what haunts you next And keep coming closer Till the lines begin to blur Self-made enclosure That cages just to hollow What was it all for We've said it all before But even words erode Caught in a mindset Made to believe that Time can heal these blows So we gave it all Down to our bare bones Brief Exchanging of reasons To leave it all behind Know As soon as the morning comes You'll never change your mind Radio static on every line Just be patient, placid, and unrequited Was every effort just a means to extend 'Cause our best hasn't been enough yet Yet What was it all for We've said it all before But even words erode Hope was a fiction Made us believe that One day we'd be whole We gave it all Now we're just bare bones
