Pick Up The Bones Lyrics

Collecting pieces of my family
In an old pillow case
This one has a skull

But it don't have a face
These look like the arms of father so strong

    After listening to this song many times due to my love of it, i am left to believe the song is about war.

    And some scars on the skin

    There were demons with guns
    Who marched through this place
    Killing everything that breathed
    They're an inhuman race”
