EXCAVATION BONES Lyrics

You took the steps down to my heart You shone a torch to pierce the dark It let you see where you were going And in a corner cold and dank Propped up beside a storage tank You found the feelings that weren't showing And if you dig deep enough You hit the darker stuff Excavation bones, excavation bones So you peeled away the skin Past the ribs straight to the sin To find out what I'm really made of Then you turned your face away As you eat the words you're used to say I am afraid you've found what you are afraid of And if you dig deep enough You hit the darker stuff Excavation bones, excavation bones Find a little plot of land Put a spade into your trembling hands Dig a hole as wide as it is deep Then take the love you used to feel Lay it in that gash of field Tell yourself it is only gone to sleep And as the dirt begins to rise Wipe the anger from your burning eyes The sweat will dilute the tears you weep
