Bones in the River

---

There’s a river runnin’ through my chest,

Cold as truth, but I confess

Every lie I tried to hide

Floats like bones along the tide.

I’ve been walkin’ through the hollow fields,

Carryin’ the weight I never healed.

And every echo in the rain

Sounds like someone sayin’ my name.

---

If the night remembers me,

Let it speak honestly.

---

Bones in the river,

Truth in the mud,

I washed my hands

But they still taste like blood.

Every sin I tried to deliver

Came back like a shiver —

Bones in the river.

---

I saw mercy in a dying flame,

Soft and weak, but still the same.

It whispered low, with tired breath:

“You can rise from any death.”

But I’ve been starvin’ for a sign,

Somethin’ pure, somethin’ divine.

Still the only thing that’s clear

Is the silence I keep here.

---

If the night remembers me,

Let it speak honestly.

---

Bones in the river,

Truth in the mud,

I washed my hands

But they still taste like blood.

Every sin I tried to deliver

Came back like a shiver —

Bones in the river.

---

Let the water drag my shame,

Let the current carve my name.

If I drown before I’m free,

Let the river speak for me.

---

Bones in the river,

Truth in the mud,

I washed my hands

But they still taste like blood.

If I break, may it be forever —

Take my sins, take my tether —

Bones in the river.
