I'm just a bag of bones sewn with ruby thread A perpetual emotion machine An ever-changing labyrinth A love and attention fiend. In your hands I'm a canvas doll Diamonds dripping down my cheeks A threat whispered, a promise hissed A heart refusing to beat You may see me but you'll never know A bag of bones against the garden wall It's the broken hand, my darling we learn to lean on after all.

Bag of Bones, Ruby Thread
I'm just a bag of bones sewn with ruby thread A perpetual emotion machine An ever-changing labyrinth A love and attention fiend. In your hands I'm a canvas doll Diamonds dripping down my cheeks A threat whispered, a promise hissed A heart refusing to beat You may see me but you'll never know A bag of bones against the garden wall It's the broken hand, my darling we learn to lean on after all.
Last two lines are my absolute favourite lyrics from an Iron & Wine song called "Innocent Bones". Credit must be given.
