Skin and Bones

VERSE
Do you know how it feels to not be at home in your own body?
Another hospital bed, another crowded lobby
Some say it's the devil, some say its fate
They say God don't make mistakes
But this must be a mistake

CHORUS
I'm down to skin and bones and they're getting heavy
I try to run away but these legs won't let me
My mama raised me to believe that life ain't fair
We've all got our cross to bear
All these pills but I'm still sick
Say my prayers, I'm still not fixed

VERSE
Born in California so I sure can fake a smile
Ask me how I'm feeling, and I'll stretch the truth a mile
All of these old demons got my back against the wall
Tonight I'm a couple breaths away from a six foot fall

CHORUS
I'm down to skin and bones and they're getting heavy
I try to run away but these legs won't let me
My mama raised me to believe that life ain't fair
We've all got our cross to bear
All these pills but I'm still sick
Say my prayers, I'm still not fixed

BRIDGE
I don't need another sermon that you stole from the TV
I don't need another quick fix from your doctor's magazine
And I know I shouldn't feel shame from your sympathy
I just need you, I just need you to see

CHORUS
I'm down to skin and bones and they're getting heavy
I try to run away but these legs won't let me

I'm down to skin and bones and they're getting heavy
I try to run away but these legs won't let me
My mama raised me to believe that life ain't fair
We've all got our cross to bear
I'm more than what makes me sick
Can still be whole and not be fixed
