Song Lyrics

"Brittle Bone"

by The Normals
Album: A Place Where You Belong

Sunset skyline out of my window
Stained carpet underfoot
Ain't that the w-ay that it goes
We live in the bad and long for the good

Down here the well has been poisoned
Now everything's dying
Some sell forgiveness on gospel TV shows
And I wonder why anyone's buying

'Cause the truth is a hard sell
For it, burns out the lies

~Chorus~
And I tear hard this brittle bone
And I, drink deep this wine
I live rich on the meat of this table
'Cause it's here where I can find
The grace of a Savior
The face of a Lover
The absence, of wh-at I-I fear
I'm not alone
For here I've found m-y home

I've been hiding, like an ostrich
My head underground
And all my dirty feathers a-ll across town
Lucky vampire has no mirrors
Me, I'm scared of what I'd see
I long for a last time with last times
Isn't that why You died for me

I bow my head weeping
I pray I'll raise it to find You

~Chorus~

'Cause I can think too much
I can th-ink You away
Now that I've crashed hard can I see how You save
There's a small cloud in the distance
So I'll keep on walking
'Til Your grace sings so loud I can't, hear myself talk-ing
Can't, hear myself talk-ing

And I tear hard this brittle bone
And I, drink deep this wine
I live rich on the meat of this table
'Cause it's here where I can find
The grace of a Savior
The face of a Lover
The absence, of wh-at I-I fear
I'm not alone
For here I've found my
I'm not alone
For here I've found my, h-ome
For here I've found my home
