These Bones
These bones, they'll never be yours for the taking. This body, it is not yours to trifle with.
Don't touch these bones
…
These bones of mine aren't meant for you
These bones
They made me who I am
They're strong darling
Strong in a way that has nothing on your 'powerful' hands
wrapped around my wrist
You don't know what these bones have seen
They've seen nations rise and fall
Hearts break and mend
They've seen life and they have seen death
War
And peace
Just as Icarus saw the sun and the sea
But these bones won't melt
Nor will they burn
They're so much more than you know
They've been broken and bruised
But these bones will never crumble darling
Certainly not at the hands of someone who's soul is so weak
And for whom respect is but an illusion
These bones
They aren't for you to ruin
One day I'll lay them down
Turn them to dust
Let them return to the earth from which they were born
But not today darling
And not because of you.
…
These Bones are Mine
