[Verse 1]
Boots on the gravel, my shadow’s a flag
Black tape on the knuckles, teeth in the rag
I don’t pray for peace, I bargain with pain
Carving my initials in the edge of the flame
Eyes like a rifle, locked on the throne
They gave me a target, I gave up a home
March through the sirens, ash in my lungs
Every scar on my skin is a loaded gun
[Chorus]
Bones, bones, pile ‘em like stones
I was built in the fire, I don’t crumble, I grow (hey!)
War in my chest, hear the thunder below
You can break my body
But you can’t break my bones
Hoist that crown, pull it off of their ghosts
I’m the knife in the dark, I’m the drum of the host
War in my chest, let the whole world know
You can break my body
But you can’t break my bones (bones, bones)
[Verse 2]
Blood on the boots but my mind’s even worse
Turn every curse to a victory verse
Teeth on the wire, I chew through the fear
Turn my heartbeat into something they hear
Smoke in my jacket, debt in my grin
Every bruise on my jaw is a medal of sin
I don’t need medals, I’m married to grit
Put the world on my shoulders, I’m training to split
[Chorus]
Bones, bones, pile ‘em like stones
I was built in the fire, I don’t crumble, I grow (woah)
War in my chest, hear the thunder below
You can break my body
But you can’t break my bones
Hoist that crown, pull it off of their ghosts
I’m the knife in the dark, I’m the drum of the host
War in my chest, let the whole world know
You can break my body
But you can’t break my bones (bones, bones)
[Bridge]
[Heartbeat drops, single vocal]
One breath, two breath
Name every doubt
Three steps, four steps
Stamp them out
If I fall, I fall
Facing the throne
If I rise, I rise
Built from these
[Chorus]
Bones, bones, pile ‘em like stones
I was built in the fire, I don’t crumble, I grow (hey!)
War in my chest, hear the thunder below
You can break my body
But you can’t break my bones
Hoist that crown, pull it off of their ghosts
I’m the knife in the dark, I’m the drum of the host
War in my chest, let the whole world know
You can break my body
But you can’t break my bones (bones, bones)
