Bread from My Bones Lyrics

Won't you stop baking bread from my bones

Won't you stop baking bread from my bones

Please don't dress me up in borrowed robes

Stop baking bread from my bones

Won't you stop stabbing me with your tongue

Won't you stop stabbing me with your tongue

Don't you wait for the day your mouth comes undone

Stop stabbing me with your tongue

Please don't shoot yourself in the foot

Please don't shoot yourself in the foot

All your anger has made you hard-put

Please don't shoot yourself in the foot

The Accuser is silenced

When you forget yourself

Now is the time and the time will come

Don't hang your hat on hopelessness

Don't hang your hat on hopelessness

There's beauty in the lines of brokenness

Don't hang your hat on hopelessness

Why don't you believe that you'll survive

Why don't you believe that you'll survive

Our scars, they tell of fully-lived lives

So why don't you believe that you'll survive

Now is the time, and the time will come

When we are dancing with dead men

Now is the time, and the time will come

When this food readies us for our death
