Thieves & Bones Lyrics

Sleep For Sleepers Thieves & Bones

[Verse 1]
I met a man who knew what love was from the start
He told me, "Try to live this way."
He told me, "There's thieves who try to take more than their hands can hold. If you pretend you've got it all, you're wrong."

[Chorus 1]
We take in the cold, just to make it on our own
Like our mother's warmth, mother's warmth
We have bones that can bruise
And surely the skin that can prove

[Verse 2]
I met a thief who had an addiction with his hands
He told me, "Never live this way."
He told me, "We know how to set these hills on fire with both our hands tied behind our backs
Our hands are tied behind our backs."

[Chorus 2]
We take in the cold, just to make it on our own
Like our mother's warmth, mother's warmth
We have bones that can bruise
And surely the skin that can prove
That we are all alike, that we are all alike

[Outro]
We take in the cold, just to make it on our own
We have bones that can bruise
And surely the skin that can prove
