Skeleton

When I’m with you
My muscles start to ache
The veins beneath my skin
Start pulling away

When I’m with you
I become a skeleton
Frail bones, no soul
And you call this love

When I’m with you
My blood starts to rush
The airways and the passages
All fill up at once

And you call this love
And you call this love

When I’m with you
I lose sight of everything
Take what you came for
Go ahead, I’m ready
Shovel on the dirt
Pile it on me
Take what you came for
Go ahead and bury me
When I’m with you
I become a skeleton
Frail bones, no soul

And they call this love
And you call this love
