Verse 1 (breathy, confessional):
I’m drifting… lost between the waves
Salt bites my skin, your ghost in my veins
Every step I take, the deck’s breaking under me
I scream, but the ocean swallows my plea
Pre-Chorus (building tension, shaky vocals):
Hands reaching, but no one’s there
I’m sinking deeper into despair
Every heartbeat a hammer, pounding me hollow
I’m just a shadow the tide will follow
Chorus (screaming, cathartic):
Shipwrecked bones… carry me home!
A sailor’s grave is all I crave!
Heart, ocean, sky… BREAKS OPEN!
I’ll drown in the wave!
Shipwrecked bones… carry me home!
Where the night swallows the brave!
Every scar, every scream, every promise…
Rests beneath the ocean’s grave!
Verse 2 (agitated, raw):
Your voice cuts like lightning through my chest
Every memory’s a chain, I can’t rest
The moon watches me bleed into the dark
And I claw at the edges of this broken heart
Pre-Chorus (whispered, building to scream):
No one comes, no one sees
I’m drowning in the sound of my disease
The tide drags me farther than I can go
And the world above doesn’t even know
Chorus (screaming, heavier):
Shipwrecked bones… carry me home!
A sailor’s grave is all I crave!
Heart, ocean, sky… BREAKS OPEN!
I’ll drown in the wave!
Shipwrecked bones… carry me home!
Where the night swallows the brave!
Every scar, every scream, every promise…
Rests beneath the ocean’s grave!
Bridge (chaotic, half-screamed, half-whispered):
I’m weightless but I’m breaking,
The waves are my coffin, no mistaking
Moonlight scratches my skin like a knife
Dragging me farther from life
Breakdown (full raw scream):
CARRY ME HOME!
SHIPWRECKED BONES!
A SAILOR’S GRAVE!
EVERY SCREAM, EVERY PROMISE—
BENEATH THE OCEAN’S GRAVE!
Chorus (final, layered screams + clean overlay):
Shipwrecked bones… carry me home!
A sailor’s grave is all I crave!
Heart, ocean, sky… BREAKS OPEN!
I’ll drown in the wave!
Shipwrecked bones… carry me home!
Where the night swallows the brave!
Every scar, every scream, every promise…
Rests beneath the ocean’s grave!
Outro (soft, almost whispered):
Shipwrecked… bones…
Carry me home…
Shipwrecked… bones…
