New Bones

I put the breath in your lungs
And I'll take it back if I want.
I'll pour the water the floods out your trachea.

I put the words on your tongue.
With one word I say, I'll take them away.
I'll cut the wires that run through your cranium.

Do you believe wonderful things
Are waiting in the shadows to start happening?
I would believe what you believe
If you'd only stop believing in me.

I put the fire in the sky
And I'll make it darker than you'd ever realize.
If you think you've seen everything, you should open your eyes.

I would believe what you believe
If we could agree on a single thing.
I would believe what you believe
If you'd only stop believing.

If it's such a miracle then
I'm starting over again.
I need new bones, I need them.

If it's such a miracle then
I'm starting over again.
I'll prove you wrong, I'll prove it.

I put the breath in your lungs
And I'll take it back if I want.
I'll pour the water the floods out your trachea.

I put the words on your tongue
With one word I say, I'll take them away.
I'll cut the wires that run through your cranium.

The record doesn't lie
So what friend could the record be?
We will all be forgotten at the final beat
When our synapses finally sleep.
