Brittle Bone Songtext
von The Normals

Sunset skyline out my window
Stained carpet underfoot
Ain′t that the way that it goes?
We live in the bad and long for the good
Down here the weather's been poison
Now everything′s dying
Some self-forgiveness on gospel TV shows
I wonder why anyone's buying
'Cause the truth is a hard sell
For it burns out the lights

And I tear on this brittle bone
And I drink deep this wine
Live rich on the meat of this table
′Cause it′s here where I can find
The grace of a savior
The face of a lover
The absence of what I fear
I'm not alone
For here I′ve found my home


I've been hiding like an ostrich
My head underground
And all my dirty feathers
All across town
Lucky vampire has no mirrors
Me? I′m scared of what I'd see
I long for the last time with last times
Isn′t that why you died for me?
I bow my head weeping
Pray I'll raise it to find you

And I tear on this brittle bone
And I drink deep this wine
Live rich on the meat of this table
For it's here where I can find
The grace of a savior
The face of a lover
The absence of what I fear
I′m not alone
For here I′ve found my home

'Cause I can think too much
I can think you away
Now that I′ve crushed hard
Can I see how you say
There's a small cloud in the distance
But I′ll keep on walking
'Til your grace sings so loud
I can hear myself talking
Can hear myself talking


And I tear on this brittle bone
And I drink deep this wine
Live rich on the meat of this table
′Cause it's here where I can find
The grace of a savior
The face of a lover
The absence of what I fear
I'm not alone

For here I′ve found
I′m not alone

For here I've found
I′m not alone
For here I've found my home
