Brian Douglas Phillips - Bullets & Bones lyrics

In a flood of subtle words A night of anger I smelled her on your shirt Your eyes betrayed you I'm losing my life I'm bleeding inside A brittle rose, a mound of dirt That's all that stayed Get up and go I'll lie here silent in your wake Just bullets and bones A speechless siren in her grave Sorrow and stone Worn by wave on crushing wave It's all that you've sown in me My babe Hushed by winter scenes And frosted cages In spring, the restless hills Will scream, contagious I'll wake from within And whisper your sins And I'll sings through tongues of green And dark-eyed daisies Get up and go I'll lie here silent in your wake Just bullets and bones A speechless siren in her grave Sorrow and stone Worn by wave on crushing wave It's all that you've sown in me My babe
