This is a dark, and beautiful song about Justin Pierre’s grandmother’s last days battling cancer.
The song is told through her eyes on what she would like to say to her family during her last moments.
I can feel it in my bones tonight
Drain me slowly of the will to fight
Glowing yellow in the bedroom light
I can feel it in my bones tonight
There is a terror in your eyes tonight
Something awful has you wrapped in white
Take me in your arms and hold me tight
Cause I won't be here for long, my dear
Settle our accounts
Happy anniversary
Show me how to calm your fears
I'll do what I can

I can feel it in my bones tonight
Swallowing whatever's in its sight
Struggling to breathe with all my might
Cause I won't be here to dry your tears
Send the kids my love
Happy anniversary

Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary
Cause I won't be waking up, my dear
Time has run its course
Happy anniversary
Now I'll say goodbye, my dear
This will be our last
Happy anniversary
I can feel it in my bones tonight
