questioning skeletons

from lies i thought my mother taught me by briallyn

lyrics

i always said i don't believe in ghosts
but what are you then
if i can't feel your heartbeat
when you say 'kiss me' i get butterflies
nesting in my organs and flying from your eyes
you feel strong but i am shaking
and my hands are slipping
and i'm petrified to fall
so deathly afraid of it all

chorus:
your bones are the only things i know
because they're the same as mine
we're just the same inside
and my bones are the only things you know
you can never see inside my head
even if you were in my bed

i'd send myself to where you are
but the thing is
where you are is so far away
so i'm drinking red wine alone
i want to put my mouth inside your clothes
and taste you, if you want me to
tell me i'm the only one
you don't have to say you love me
i just wanna know you care
you know you are the only one
i'm not gonna say it's love but
really no one else compares

chorus

i'm blowing kisses although
just giving you secondhand smoke
i only see you in my dreams
i think that i'm choking in my sleep
