Lyrics for Counting Up Your Bones
My bones fall in My bones fall out You're cool as silk Beside my heart Your bones glide in A silent tear That mingles mirrow when you disappear A dance we weave beneath our skin I keep you in me where the breath had been I can hear them laugh and call me minnow Carrying on, coughing on my bones I'm counting up your bones I'm counting up your bones Inside of me, inside of me Inside of me, inside of me Your bones fall in Your bones fall out I'm cool as silk Beside your heart A dance we weave beneath our skin I keep you in me where the breath had been Lies a minnow Washing out the linons Tumbling and left to dry alone I'm counting up your bones I'm counting up your bones
