Breath & Bone

As the tar black washes up against the shore
The depths silent with a deafening roar
We live in a world that's so false and insecure
Could you burn the veil

I'm so ashamed but it's true
How bad habits have been become taboo
We could see it manifest itself
Right before your eyes

Is it in my head
These thoughts remain
Is it in my body aching with pain
Could you scratch the surface or vein
I won't muster the strength

But I will beat my fists at the gates
Say it's my time now, I won't wait
They've been locked for an eternity
Now it's time to let my soul free

Years and years go by and nothing has changed
Internal rhetoric remains the same
One day those thoughts they won't harm me this way
I say as the cycle repeats

All these decisions from a clouded lens
Out of focus placed a seed of regret
Was it really me behind the wheel
I don't really think it was

Oh my
Oh my
This body isn't isn't mine
Hold, take hold of breath and bone and soul
Oh I know
That I should let it go
Let it float
Out to sea
Where it was meant to be
