Bones

Drained both my accounts, I put fifty bucks down

Hit on a hard seventeen

If somehow I win, I'll just do it again

Till the hole in my wallet bleeds

Now what in the hell did I do to myself

To be doing this shit Christmas Day

I got somewhere else I should go

But it helps me to know I can control the pain

Cause I'm so stoned

That I swear to God that this place is haunted

But I'm half convinced it's just me that's the ghost

And I know

Darling I know

That I can't pretend I can bring back the dead

I have tried and all that I got to show

Is some dirt and old bones

Now this fireplace has been my saving grace

When I'm stuck here alone every night

I stare at the flames and I swear there's a face

That takes shape and then fades in the light

Am I just too high, am I losing my mind?

I don't know, it's probably both

I called off the drinks and I cut down the weed

But this still doesn't feel how I hoped

Cause I'm so stoned

That I swear to God that this place is haunted

But I'm half convinced it's just me that's the ghost

And I know

Darling I know

That I can't pretend I can bring back the dead

I have tried and all that I got to show

Is some dirt and old bones

And God how I wish I could turn back the time

Take back the life that I lost

Clenching my fists till my knuckles turn white

As I tell you I'm proud that it's gone

And I don't miss the booze, but I'm starting to lose

Sight of the reasons I don't

They say wounds heal with time, but I need most of mine

To remind me there's still somewhere worse I can go

Because I

I'm so goddamn stoned

That I swear to God that this place is haunted

But I'm half convinced that I'm the damn ghost

And I know

Darling, I know

That I can't pretend I can bring back the dead
