These Bones Lyrics


Lay my bones at the feet of the ministry
I need the guilt and the company
I need the chance to be judged
And then long forgottenLately I just can't shake it
I count the days in seconds and minutes
Hours and hours are subtle
As shards of glass in the skinSo lay with me
I could use the company
You could help me easeThese bones are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth
There's a story hidden underneath
If you dig in deep, will you find relief?For these bones shudder all night long
The hammer drops another scar
For these bones but I know
They're only my second homeNaked and under the cover of night
It's just a matter of time 'til I'm
Counted and measured and filed

And then long forgottenForgive my manner of speaking
I know it's quick but the clock is still ticking
And I've got a few words left
Burning holes on my tongue
I've been saving themSo lay with me
I could use the company
You could help me easeThese bones are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth
There's a story hidden underneath
If you dig in deep, will you find relief?For these bones shudder all night long
The hammer drops another scar
For these bones but I know
They're only my second homeNo, you won't go down alone
No, you won't go down alone
No, you won't go down alone
No, you won't go down aloneSo lay with me
I could use the company
You could help me easeThese bones are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth
There's a story hidden underneath
If you dig in deep, will you find relief?These bones are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth
There's a story hidden underneath
If you dig in deep, will you find relief?For these bones
'Cause I know you won't go down alone

Dashboard Confessional was started in 2000, by Chris Carrabba in Boca Raton, Florida, as a side project from his band Further Seems Forever.

Chris recorded his first album, The Swiss Army Romance, in 2000. The following year, he recorded Further Seems Forever's debut album The Moon Is Down. However, he left the band soon after the album's release, instead recording and releasing his sophomore album The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, as well as a follow-up EP titled So Impossible.

By 2002, three other musicians had joined the band, including former Further Seems Forever band mate Jerry Castellanos and started the process of recording the band's next album. After the success of his second album, Carrabba was asked to perform on MTV Unplugged, and the subsequent release marked the first time many of the songs were recorded with a full band.

Also in 2002, the music video for "Screaming Infidelities" won the coveted MTV2 award at the MTV Video Music Awards, beating out Norah Jones, The Strokes, The Hives, Nappy Roots and Musiq. This video starred Chris in both the performance and the storyline. The video was directed by Maureen Egan and Matthew Barry.

In 2003, the band released its third album A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar. Peaking at #2 on the United States Billboard charts, the album proved to be the band's most commercially-viable album yet. In the summer of 2004, Dashboard Confessional recorded the song "Vindicated" for the film Spider-Man 2. The song was featured on the soundtrack and played over the film's end credits. Because of this, the band gained a sizable audience for their next release the following summer.

In May of 2005, Dashboard Confessional entered the studio to record their fourth album with acclaimed producer, Daniel Lanois. The album was released on June 27, 2006; its first single was "Don't Wait". Following the release of Dusk and Summer, Dashboard Confessional went on a summer tour of the U.S. with special guests Say Anything and Ben Lee, followed by a co-headlining arena tour with alternative rock band Brand New.

In 2007, the band released its follow-up to Dusk and Summer, The Shade of Poison Trees.

During an interview with Billboard posted on September 11, 2007, Carrabba stated that he is 14 tracks into what would be the band's sixth studio album. He is also unsure about when it would be recorded, but plans to have 30 tracks to draw from. It may be a concept album: "only with the last three has it become, like, 'All right, these have a continuity and there's something going on,' so I'm excited to see where that leads".

The album, titled 'Alter The Ending', was released November 10 2009 (US). A two disc version of the album is available. In this edition, the first disc consists of full band workings of the twelve tracks while the second disc features acoustic versions akin to the first two Dashboard Confessional albums.
