Sweat & Bones - Rachael Cantu

It’s the heat of the summer

That keeps dragging you back in

The rest of us have all found homes

It’s the same streets that are causing you to sin

The rest of us have up and gone

And you’re sulking around

The same familiar town

The sweat and the bones that you’re cracking

Are begging you to stay

You know it’s not that way

So let’s start a band

I’ll bring the time

You bring the hands

I’ll meet you tomorrow in another state

But you’re tied to the ground and your teeth make this sound of

I’m sorry but I have to stay

It doesn’t make you a lair

It just makes you wrong

It doesn’t make you a lair

It just makes you wrong

And you’re choking on

The same damn song

Yeah you’re choking on

The same damn song

And I can’t believe that the same set of keys

Doesn’t bring you to your knees

And me at your back with the knife begging please

You don’t have to stay here I beg you to leave
