[Verse]

G
My bones don't click in place when I sit on the machine

Not as of late do I integrate, scarcely say what I mean
     Bb
This thing was built with one of my ribs
      G
I was there when it was given a name
              Bb                                G
But I've been overpowered by those who took it away

It doesn't even look the same

G
Those hired in to intervene and supervise it's size

Do plot against the weakened will before the weak ones realize
  Bb                                 G
I found it's bones in my backyard, I put them on display
  Bb                              G
I set it up with leering eyes and gave it a voice to say:

[Chorus]

G
"I am just the voice of one who's greater than this
      C                          G
But I am still a sacred voice, I will not be dismissed"

[Verse]

G
The bones still look out on my yard

Though the pieces are taken apart
   
They paint it colors I can't stand but they will not touch it's heart
     Bb                                   G
They stick tacky ornaments on it and they sell it to the kids
      Bb
I can barely stand to see it now
            G
But there's still a voice in it

[Pre-Chorus]

D             C              G
When I answer to the one who gave the bones to me
  D             C                   G
I want to say I cared for them, and say it honestly
      D             C                G
Those closest to me take it away and twist it out of shape
        D                  C
But the voice within still rattles the bones
    A               D C B A
The voice still resonates

[Chorus]

G
"I am just the voice of one who's greater than this
      C                          G
But I am still a sacred voice, I will not be dismissed"
