You are Sanskrit on my skin Peel me open, til I'm nothing but a whisper Name yourself sinner I only play for pennies And I don't play for sinners I play for sadness I play for dead things Pull the bones from the sockets Please be softer while you do it For I am fragile and vacant Sarasvati sung me to sleep I rested my head against a knee And the music I like goes up and down Like bobbing bodies in the river bend And they say, 'Mary why are your songs so sad? Look at the luck and fortune you've had. Why do you cry at night? ' Pull the bones from their sockets Please be softer while you do it For I am fragile and vacant You take my body and tongue and organs Whisper to my skin like death does. All red and rosy and stuff. I want every piece of me to crash Into every piece of you. I swear to god that's how they make stars. I'm not whole. Pull the bones from their sockets Please be softer while you do it For I am fragile and vacant LyricsFreak
