mercy machine - bones lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i keep taking my life down to the bare bone
i’m scared, afraid to be alone
but i know that only past the comfort a familiar blur
and i will be released into my own

[verse 2]
i can’t escape myself
i dream lucidly
the edge of the world beckons me
there is a strange kind of beauty here at the end of life
if i surrender i will see

[chorus]
that these are the bones of my life and i will strip them of their flesh
tenderly arrange and rearrange them
death after death after death
these are the bones of my life scattered across the ground
i join them in picture after picture after my will
until clarity is found

[verse 3]
i feel the old ceremony move beneath my feet
i imagine this body will be reborn
there is a figure who appears from behind my skin
whose numinous features i never wore

[bridge]
i’m clutching to my bed tonight
i am the naked feral child
it’s so painful to have faith in this
i am fighting to possess myself
like jacob with the angel
i never knew the price would be so great

[chorus]
but these are the bones of my life and this must be done
i must rid myself of self before i can become
these are the bones of my life and this must be done
i must rid myself of self before i can become
before i can become
