Brittle Bone Lyrics - Singles - The Normals

Sunset skyline out my window 

Stained carpet underfoot 

Ain't that the way that it goes 

We live in the bad and long for the good 

Down here the well has been poisoned 

Now everything's dying 

Some sell forgiveness on gospel TV shows 

And I wonder why anyone's buying 

'Cause the truth is a hard sell for it burns out the lies 

And I tear hard this brittle bone and I drink deep this wine 

Live rich on the meat of this table 'cause it's here where I can find 

The grace of a Saviour, the face of a lover, the absence of what I fear 

I'm not alone for here I've found my home 

I've been hiding like an ostrich, my head underground 

And all my dirty feathers all across town 

Lucky vampire has no mirrors me, I'm scared of what I'd see 

I long for a last time with last times, isn't that why You died for me? 

I bow my head weeping, I pray I'll raise it to find You 

And I tear hard this brittle bone and I drink deep this wine 

Live rich on the meat of this table for it's here where I can find 

The grace of a Saviour, the face of a lover, the absence of what I fear 

I'm not alone for here I've found my home 

'Cause I can think too much, I can think You away 

Now that I've crashed hard, can I see how You save? 

There's a small cloud in the distance but I'll keep on walking 

Till Your grace sings so loud, I can't hear myself talking 

Can't hear myself talking 

And I tear hard this brittle bone and I drink deep this wine 

Live rich on the meat of this table 'cause it's here where I can find 

The grace of a Saviour, the face of a lover, the absence of what I fear 

I'm not alone for here I've found my, not alone for here I've found 

I'm not alone for here I've found my home
