Raw Bones Lyrics

I shed off layers of self
One dark day at a time
I keep the pain that keeps me awake
I let go of all that I mirror out
There's a lightning hidden in every teardrop
I aim to get hit by it
I want that charge right into my bones
And may the thunder after deafen my senses
While I'm lying down on this thought
Accepting it for what it is
One can only walk this illusion
For as long as the flame is lit
I'd rather split my eyelids open
And watch the snake crawling towards me

Let the cold blade be on my skin
I'll make it burn
There are storms one should run away from
And there are storms one should make their own
I carry in my own destruction
I celebrate my own cacophony
I let it be as loud as the beast inside
May the roar wake me up every second that I live
I push my raw feet to keep on walking
May they bleed out ego at every step I take
May they bleed out ego at every step I take

I want to take it all in
The blood and the feathers
The agave and the salt
Departures and mournings
May the eastern wind open my eyes
And lift me up to face myself
To float again in this cage of bones
To feel like the aimless arrow does
To disappear into darkness
To reappear into light
And from the glare towards shadow again
