Bones into bloom

(Verse 1)

I laid my skin by the river bend

Where the cold water don’t pretend

Every scar like a story told

Every fear I learned to hold

Wind said, “boy, you don’t belong

To the shape you’ve worn this long”

So I closed my eyes, let the current choose

What I’d become when I let go of you

(Chorus)

I was dust, I was stone, I was barely alive

Now I’m fur and feather, learning how to survive

Every ending sings a quieter tune

Turns bones into bloom, turns bones into bloom

I don’t mourn the ghost I knew

I just shed and let it through

Every death makes space for truth

Turns me into something new

(Verse 2)

Woke up light with a heartbeat wild

Running free like a forest child

Paws on earth, I could feel it breathe

Every root had a hand on me

Then I changed with the morning sun

Grew wings where there once were none

Sky so wide, it called my name

Said “you ain’t gotta stay the same”

(Chorus)

I was dust, I was stone, I was barely alive

Now I’m claw and instinct, learning how to survive

Every ending sings a quieter tune

Turns bones into bloom, turns bones into bloom

I don’t mourn the ghost I knew

I just shed and let it through

Every death makes space for truth

Turns me into something new

(Bridge)

Maybe I’ll be a deer next fall

Soft-eyed, listening to it all

Or a wolf when the nights grow long

Howling out what I held in wrong

Or a bird when I need to leave

Every form just a way to breathe

I ain’t lost, I ain’t gone astray

I just change when I outgrow a day

(Outro Chorus)

I was lost, I was numb, I was stuck in my skin

Now I’m teeth and wind, and I’m born again

Every ending hums a sacred tune

Turns bones into bloom, turns bones into bloom

So if you see me fade from view

Don’t you fear what I’m going through

I’m just dying the way I do—

To come back as something new
