Bones of Yesterday

Vocals & Music by Lady IX

Lyrics by Michael Orlando Yaccarino with Lady IX

All I have are the bones of yesterday

For all of my tomorrows

An ivory cage of endless pain

For all of my tomorrows

And all these bones will never turn to dust

And all these bones will never turn to dust

But remain a cage of sorrows
