Bones

Every sunken body winds up on the shore,
I can feel it coming, seen this all before.
I can't stop the motion of this booming tide,
I just watch the ocean crashing at my side.
Yeah, yeah, oohh
All the pain I buried swims on home to me,
My own cemetery drifting at my feet,
History repeats itself just like before,
I don't wanna know myself anymore.
Yeah, yeah, oohh
Then I hear some kind of mermaid calling me under,
I guess underneath the sea you can't hear the thunder.
There's nothing left for me, under the water I can't breathe,
I just cannot sail away for free, I'm not allowed to leave.
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore, like bones.
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore, like bones.
Lost and tangled in something, just like a curse.
Bound and shackled, with my whole body immersed.
End this feeling that I'll never be all right.
I'm still breathing but I just don't understand why.
(Sinking, like bones)
Then I hear some kind of mermaid calling me under,
I guess underneath the sea you can't hear the thunder.
There's nothing left for me, under the water I can't breathe,
I just cannot sail away for free, I'm not allowed to leave.
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore, like bones.
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore, like bones.
(I'm still breathing but I just don't understand why)
(Sinking, like bones, like bones)
I'm not allowed not allowed to go,
not allowed to take control,
I'm not allowed to leave this place, not allowed to save my own face.
(Sinking, just like these bones)
Then I hear some kind of mermaid calling me under,
I guess underneath the sea you can't hear the thunder.
There's nothing left for me, under the water I can't breathe,
I just cannot sail away for free, I'm not allowed to leave.
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore, like bones.
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore, like bones.
End
