They pay you for your words, but talk is cheap So they'll buy your lips, and then they'll steal your teeth Your heart just isn't where they quite see fit So they'll cut it from your chest Bit by bit Bit by bit And once they're done they'll take your hand And promise you you'll never stand a chance Sell my skin Sell my bones I know you think its what you're owed Bleed me for what I'm worth until I'm gone But as long as I'm still here Prepare to live your life in fear I'm taking back my goddamn skin and bones They're always watching even in your sleep They'll take away your dreams But nightmares you can keep They words you preach, they're just a bit too loud So they'll twist them till they're favored by the crowds The crowds And once they're done they'll take your hand And promise you you'll never stand a chance Sell my skin Sell my bones I know you think its what you're owed Bleed me for what I'm worth until I'm gone But as long as I'm still here Prepare to live your life in fear I'm taking back my goddamn skin and bones Sell my skin Sell my bones Bleed me until I'm gone Sell my skin Sell my bones Bleed me until I'm gone (And once they're done they'll take your hand) Sell my skin Sell my bones I know you think its what you're owed Bleed me for what I'm worth until I'm gone But as long as I'm still here Prepare to live your life in fear I'm taking back my goddamn skin and bones Sell my skin Sell my bones I know you think its what you're owed Bleed me for what I'm worth until I'm gone But as long as I'm still here Prepare to live your life in fear I'm taking back my goddamn skin and bones I'm taking back my goddamn skin and bones I'm taking back my goddamn skin and bones
