Broken Bones Lyrics - Singles - One Minute Millionaires

A tattered veil shadows her face, concealing her emerald eyes 

As the sound of her voice pulls away, to an all familiar reprise 

With my resolve in the fray, to a long day without me 

Where she beckons and breathes, I break and I bleed to resounding defeat 

And always just out of reach 

As I struggle and strain for the words 

That should be easy to speak 

But I can't stop breathing her name 

Chastened and chided I sail, as I'm caught in the narrows 

Well her siren song pulls me away, to the rocks and the shallows 

But you won't hear me deride 

Or speak until spoken 

Before I lived complete 

But I think that I'd rather be 

Broken bones from sticks and stones, words just finish me off 

Sleep in my arms where I'm calm as the morning, and God I know that I'm lost 

Shade from her bullets brought rain 

The tracks are so hard from the train 

That drowned out my only reply 

Until that all the comes out is her name 

Well the silence it deafens and stands, as I'm locked in my memory's dream 

Where the prison doors groan as they slam, and I know that I always will be 

Her lighthouse in her desert, candle next to the sun 

I'm a roadside cross in the darkness, and a firework next to her gu
