This is how my tale begins, I was outside, looking in again
Nothing like rain to wash you clean, so I slept in the cold and left unseen
I'd never seen a sky that pale at night, should've known it wasn't right
Wandered out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
I can see you're doing just fine without me
What did you say when you left?
I believed you'd never get far without me
How wrong I was in the end?
Thus, my tale of woe continues
It was me they got, but it should've been you
You were the only one I trusted, but you left town and I got busted
Let me see you one last time, you can kiss my worthless ass goodbye
I doubt that it's been nice to know me
Bon voyage, you'd best be going
I agree, there's something not right about me
I thought the darkness would pass
I believed you'd never get far without me
Life is a joke if you laugh
This is how my story ends, I'm stoned and broke and drunk again
No one laughs in nothing's face, I'm just
Floating on through my aimless days
Been a long road, but I'll be alright, I'm living on the countryside
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
People die and planets turn and empires rise and fall and burn
Nothing lasts and no one stays, you just spiral off into outer space
Never seen a sky so full of stars, makes me wonder where you are
I'll be out here on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
