Flesh and Bones Lyrics by Delle (USA)

The Dog Runs Away

2023

[Intro]
The embers wilt the night on a sight so rare
I coughed up on the smoke coming from the air
Reached into my pocket with a couple of stares
And exchanged a Monster drink to excuse the fare
Melodies humming voices of the neon lights
Hard to smell the comfort of burning diesel pipes
My stomach clenches on a bag of Chester's fries
Like walking with him every single night
Nostalgia lights the match in the gardеn
Only in my dreams ash would harden
Cigs outside would makе my heart soften
"Let me hit" I asked, "I don't do this often"
[Chorus]
I'm alone, oh alone
Let the wind comfort my cold
I've cleared out the boxes of flesh and bones
So please do not tell me if there's someone home
I've checked inside
[Verse 1]
Spit it out as the burn would hit me
He concerned "You good?" as I fixed my black tee
Reached into my change and gave him two dollars fifty
He asked "Okay, fine but, what's up with you, B?"
Nostalgia burning the roof of my mouth, bring out the smoke to block up my sins
Reached in my phone, driver in 5 minutes. I looked into his eyes, "I was missing these hits"
Disbelief in his eyes, I sweat when he shouted to me "Like dude are you serious?"
He sighed, reached deep in his pockets and told me "You know what, dude? Might as well keep it"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to come out that way"
"I don't really care," he laughed, "the dogs run outside to go eat me everyday"
"I'm sorry, dude. You want some food? I'll get you some to eat, okay?"
"I'm sorry, too--I'm actually good"
He puckered up over what he had to say, like
[Pre-Hook]
What do you bring?
How do you think?
I'll let God decide for his own
What do you drink?
Did you not think?
That you're someone I wouldn't know?
[Hook]
Let me trade my flesh and bones
Let you leave the stone (Let you leave the stone)
Let me trade my flesh and bones
Give away my gold (Give away that gold)
[Post-Chorus]
Alone, I'm alone
Let the wind cover my-
I've cleared the boxes of flesh and bones
So please do not tell me that there's someone home
I've checked inside
There's someone inside
[Interlude]
Will you ever see me
When I left you alone?
And until He sees me
Let him take my soul
[Verse 2]
I gave him back his pack cause "I don't smoke anymore"
"You're asking for some smoke and now you're saying you're not sure?"
"Look, this place is sentimental; I lived here before"
"Bitch let me smoke fore all your lil lips get sore
Why did you think this place's worth your while?
Loitering in this grimy street is out of style
You're just like my friend who put me in this pile
Sometimes I wonder how God is playing His part"
[Pre-Hook]
What do you bring?
How do you think?
Don't let God decide for my own
What did you drink?
Did you not think?
That you're someone that I wouldn't know?
[Hook]
Let me trade my flesh and bones
I saw your lips kiss the stone
Let me trade my flesh and bones
I don't want to make me alone
Alone, alone
Make you alone
