Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Crawled through the dust for seven days Found a reef where the ocean laid Bleached and brittle, bone-white spires Fossilized in the funeral pyre [Chorus] Coral carcass crawl I don't need water at all Just the scrape of dead things And the song the silence sings [Verse 2] Pried a branch from the ancient bed Pressed it to my ear and heard the dead They said: "Ride, rider. The tide's still turning. Every grave you rob is a wave you're earning." [Chorus] Coral carcass crawl I don't need water at all Just the scrape of dead things And the song the silence sings [Bridge - bass and reverb only] Found a urchin turned to stone Took its spines to build a throne Found a starfish, arms all curled Took its shape to rule the world [Guitar solo] – [femur slide, crying bent notes] [Outro - sung low, almost a lullaby] Coral carcass... coral bone... I made a surfboard... and I'm going home... [whispered:] Where's home? [sung:] The dust. The dust. The dust alone.
