At this point I don’t think The Crane Wives are capable of making a bad song

[@The_Jovian]

Kicking and screaming for them to officially release this along with bonebreaker

[@mothbrainedindividual]

Ikr, especially Bonebreaker, it's too good not to be an official song

She won't lie down, can't close her eyes
There's too many things to go south before the sunrise
Are you tired?
Are you terrified?
There's too many things to go south before the sunrise
So she grits her teeth puts the baby to sleep
and waits
She won't lie down
won't hesitate
She's breaking her knuckles on truths that keep her awake
And she's tired
but her jaw is set
she won't lose anymore of the heart she still has left
So she says a prayer pulls the covers near
and waits
Margaret won't sleep tonight
Margaret won't sleep tonight
She wouldn't dare for all that creeps at night
Margaret won't sleep
She lost one man
to a strangers hand
she still carries his memories around when she's careless
she lost one man to a whisky glass
she still carries his dead weight around when she's careless
but her head is clear
she won't shed a tear
puts the baby to bed before hanging her head to wait
Margaret won't sleep tonight
Margaret won't sleep tonight
She wouldn't dare for all that creeps at night
Margaret won't sleep(x3)

If the crane wives released margaret on spotify i'd never listen to anything else

[@Beromite]

Transcribed the lyrics if anybody wants them:
She won’t lie down, won’t close her eyes
There’s too many thing to go south before the sunrise
Are you tired?
Are you terrified?
There’s too many thing to go south before the sunrise
So she grits her teeth, puts the baby to sleep
And reads
She won’t lie down
Won’t hesitate
She’s breaking her knuckles on truths that keep her awake
And she’s tired
But her jaw is set
She won’t lose anymore of the heart she still has left
So she
Says a prayer pulls the covers near and
Reads
Margaret won’t sleep tonight
Margaret won’t sleep tonight
She wouldn’t pull on that greed tonight
Margaret won’t sleep
She lost one man
To a stranger’s hand
She still carries his memory around when she’s careless
She lost one man to a whiskey glass
She still carries his dead weight around when she’s careless
But her head is clear
She won’t shed a tear
Puts the baby the bed before hanging her head to wait
Margaret won’t sleep tonight
Margaret won’t sleep tonight
She wouldn’t dare pull on that greed tonight
Margaret won’t sleep
Margaret won’t sleep
Margaret won’t sleep
