Dig up her bones, but leave her soul alone Boy with a broken soul heart with a gaping hole Dark twisted fantasy turned to reality Kissing death and losing my breath
Midnight hours Cobble street passages Forgotten savages, Forgotten savages
Dig up her bones, but leave her soul alone Let her find a way to a better place Broken dreams and silent screams Empty churches with soulless curses We found a way to escape the day
Dig up her bones, but leave her soul alone Lost in the pages of self made cages Life slips away and the ghost come to play
These are hard times These are hard times For dreamers
And love-lost believers
Dig up her bones, but leave her soul alone Let her find a way to a better place Broken dreams and silent screams Empty churches with soulless curses We found a way to escape the day
Candy bar creep show My highs hit a new low Marinate in misery Like a girl of only seventeen Man made madness, and the romance of sadness Beautiful dance, that happened by chance happened by chance x2
Dig up her bones, but leave her soul alone Let her x4 find her way back home Broken dreams and silent screams Empty churches with soulless curses We found x3 a way, to escape the day
What Lizzy said in a YT interview (/watch?v=6mAG1w6Vvms)
"'Bones' is a very, sort of dear track, because it's a nod to a very specific night in my life. I was 18, I was about to graduate high school and move to the States for the first time and enter a university and sort of angsty time. I was in a bit of termoil about that sort of change and I didn't feel right for it and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the pieces that were coming into play to sort of make that next step, and in a bit of a half while studying for exams I think had the next day... I sort of run away from home for the evening and met up with a friend of mine and we ended up getting high behind the Royal Albert Hall and climbing the sculptures, walking through graveyards, we broke in a church and we found ourselves at some person's party that we just walked into, and it was the most bizarre night of my life, potentially. We were out all evening, it got to the point where we were out at 5 in the morning, our parents called the cops on us... and it was this great night because I think me and the person I was with, we were so overwhelmed by everything else that was happening in our lives and that was such a free night where we could just be, I don't know, just escape a little bit and be as free as we wanted to."
