Petty Games - Moonrise Nation

Petty games never felt so wrong and so right

Burning letters just to keep you off of my mind for a minute

To forget your every way

Situations might have had us being friends

Falling victim to your deadliest sins

I see the mask that you wear

Take me by the bones and shake me

Oh, words won’t break me

A backstage thought

A moth drawn to light

Was afraid you’d only come out at night

Love will save you and will leave you with the sunrise

Swallow your words, bitterness lines your tongue

Shoot me down, there’s more where I came from

You’re mistaken, there’s no battle to be won

Take me by the bones and shake me

Oh, words won’t break me

Take me by the bones and shake me

Oh, words won’t break me

Time will tell the truth

I gain nothing when you lose

Time will tell the truth

I gain nothing when you lose

Take me by the bones and shake me

Oh, words won’t break me

Take me by the bones and shake me

Oh, words won’t break me
