Wish Bone

Lyrics

Underneath the green grass lie your bones Wrapped in bitter tears Brooding on memories A broken but safe home Dreamcatchers line the walls But nightmares have their own backdoors You never said goodbye Or counted your final breaths You didn't see the smoke Drifting down the hall Floating above the carnage Cold toes wrapped in soot and char Naked in hot skin False hope and false moons Your silence screamed night and noon Chiding our prayers calling you home You never said goodbye Still waiting to regret the days Your face was proud and bare Ready to die alone Each speckle of dust bursts into a flame And I'll soon forget where you came from Light the candle at both ends Raise the voices 'til they soar Hearts lift the sky, there the deities From the rubble of your corpse I'll choose only the best Somewhere inside there's a wish bone I'll take it in my hand Walk the miles through the grass Look out to the sea There your spirit is free
