My bones fall in
My bones fall out
You're cool as silk
Beside my heart
Your bones glide in
A silent tear that mingles marrow when you disappear
A dance we weave beneath our skin
I keep you in me where the breath had been
I can hear them laugh and call me minnow
Carrying on, coughing on my bones
But I'm counting up your bones
I'm counting up your bones
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Your bones fall in
Your bones fall out
I'm cool as silk
Beside your heart
A dance we weave beneath our skin
I keep you in me where the breath had been
Why's a minnow washing out the linen
Tumbling and left out to dry alone
I'm counting up your bones
