This is how my tale begins, I was outside, looking in again Nothing like rain to wash you clean, so I slept in the cold and left unseen I'd never seen a sky that pale at night, should've known it wasn't right Wandered out there on my own Just a rattling bag of bones I can see you're doing just fine without me What did you say when you left? I believed you'd never get far without me How wrong I was in the end? Thus, my tale of woe continues It was me they got, but it should've been you You were the only one I trusted, but you left town and I got busted Let me see you one last time, you can kiss my worthless ass goodbye I doubt that it's been nice to know me Bon voyage, you'd best be going I agree, there's something not right about me I thought the darkness would pass I believed you'd never get far without me Life is a joke if you laugh This is how my story ends, I'm stoned and broke and drunk again No one laughs in nothing's face, I'm just Floating on through my aimless days Been a long road, but I'll be alright, I'm living on the countryside I'll be out there on my own Just a rattling bag of bones I'll be out there on my own Just a rattling bag of bones I'll be out there on my own Just a rattling bag of bones People die and planets turn and empires rise and fall and burn Nothing lasts and no one stays, you just spiral off into outer space Never seen a sky so full of stars, makes me wonder where you are I'll be out here on my own Just a rattling bag of bones I'll be out there on my own Just a rattling bag of bones I'll be out there on my own Just a rattling bag of bones
