Beautiful Bones Lyrics

We leave you in the care of the lions. Void of any emotion we walk away
Studied in the science of silence, you know what we wanted without us saying
I can see your breath in the midnight air
I will try to hold it before it disappears

Down to your beautiful bones. You ever owned
Keep them delighted
From your tips to your toes
Down to your beautiful bones. You ever owned
Keep them delighted


Why don't you love me like you loved me
Alchemy of gold, in your hands
You lit up like a burning schoolhouse
But you let it go out in your hands

Down to your beautiful bones. You ever owned
Keep them delighted ‘Til all the ships come home
To your beautiful bones. You ever owned
Keep them delighted Until you turn the light on
