Name: Burning Bones
Duration: P00H01M09S
Description: I wrote this in 2015. It’s a song about wanting to have a wedding but not wanting to have a marriage. Two things I know very little about and have managed thus far to stay a safe distance from. But I had a close friend that was going through it. This one's for them.

about

I wrote this in 2015. It’s a song about wanting to have a wedding but not wanting to have a marriage. Two things I know very little about and have managed thus far to stay a safe distance from. But I had a close friend that was going through it. This one's for them.

lyrics

Burning bones
Scattered ashes in our homes
Fill our hearts and break our souls
Promise everything goes well

Fill our dreams
Pieces everywhere, it seems
Make it right, I can’t believe
That’s the price I pay for
Giving it my best

So tonight, take your son
Go be his wife
Say your prayers and hide your knife
No one’s sleeping by your side

So goodnight, take your son
Go be his wife
Say your prayers and hide your knife
No one’s sleeping by your side
