he stayed away for some months
sweated out the summer
he made a lathe for love lust
and so carved out another
turn on blood to make it through
elbowed out a twist on naming our
arms of virtue
i made the most of another man’s horror songs and
i staked them out in your honor
my doctor judge and
i made sustain to sound out your words
your lawful blood songs
i staved them out to swallow down my sovereign
sister brother
he made a break for so long
took a country lover
he rode the fog out so much
the dark waylaid our mother
the bind of blood so swift dilutes
bearing arms awake too soon
elbows out your virtue
give up give up give up give up give up
give up your bones
give up your bones
give up give up your bones
your house no more, it’s not your home
you’re so easy to pass along
give up your bones
give up your bones
give up, give up your bones
your bones, your bones
this blood is not your own
and take what you can get of a better man’s
awful love songs
and stave them out for his new lease on
the terms of honor and
i make a stain to sound out promises
of faulty blood bonds
you lent my bones out to another
sister brother
give up your bones
give up your bones
give up give up your bones
this house no more
it’s not your home
so easy to pass along
give up your bones
give up your bones
give up give up your bones
your bones our bones
this blood is out on loan
