My bones

Counting steps on train tracks, thinking
"if i just keep going it'll have some meaning"

My hometown is cold now
They tore the bar down
Where a pint glass helped my first tattoo's swelling

Not much changes there or in my journal pages
It's all the same, i mix up the faces
If time erases me
Let it be known
I slept better in your arms than I ever did at home

I guess you're not here to stay
And that's okay
I'll lay right here
You can have your way
With my bones

Anyone who says they know me
Sees a piece of what i'll never know
Between the loves who leave and those i let go
What can be left of an identity

I searched the walls of every condo bedroom
I used to share with people i once knew
For signs they wrote on walls to help me find them
But jokes on me
I don't deserve to follow

So here i am

Snow storm blinded me
Slide out on the highway going ninety
To the sound of a grindcore album
Skipping and turned up the whole way

Lost sight of the exit
Spun
Flipped
Counted headlights headed my way
And i still feel more lost now
Than i did on that day

I guess you're not here to stay
And that's okay
I'll lay right here
You can have your way
With my bones
