“This is a song about zombies. It was an idea I had when I was sitting at home one day. The song originally started off as a tale about a battle with anorexia and the dead feeling it left the girl inside it affected, but it ended up being a tale about a boy who is zombified and longs for his younger...
[Verse 1]
Breathe in, breathe out, everybody scream "Fuck!"
I know I've gone too far this time
My grandpa said, "Don't be afraid of death
He's just your oldest friend
Coming back for what he forgot."
I hope I forget all these lies
The books that I am reading are the ones that I've forgot
I tore out all of the pages along with my heart
And I spelled your name still
With the letters from the letters that I wrote
And I spelled out your name still
With the letters from the letters that I wrote
[Pre-Chorus]
See this body, see this body, see this body's not for me
And the way my bones are breaking is the way my skin will bleed
So I put out my fists, and you mark both my hands
With little x's that mean that I am extra unsafe
[Chorus]
Where did your spine go?
I know I've got none
Is it your heart that breaks first?
Fragile bones
Where did your spine go?
I know I've got none
Is it your heart that breaks first?
Fragile bones
[Verse 2]
And she is playing on the playground
And she is playing on the swings (She is playing on the swings)
She is learning words like 'fuck' and 'hate'
And I know just what it means
It means she's just like her mom
She'll end up lonely and sad
She'll end up alone with rings
With rings in her mouth
With guns in her house
With holes in her heart
Hey, Kid
[Outro / Chorus]
Where did your spine go?
I know I've got none
Is it your heart that breaks first?
Fragile bones
Where did your spine go?
I know I've got none
Is it your heart that breaks first?
Fragile bones
Where did your spine go?
I know I've got none
Is it your heart that breaks first?
Fragile bones
Where did your spine go?
I know I've got none
Is it your heart that breaks first?
Fragile
Fragile bones
