Bones

I never leave the mirror

until I see my father

I walk like the old man

one step slowly then the other

I sit quietly by the window

and watch them all move quickly by

there's a song caught between my teeth

I'm sucking on a lullaby

I know what I know

it only comes with time

When your blood begins to feel

the Pull of Sunset's tide

When the winter can't stop the bloom

and the end is long delayed

I will show you that small room

white sheets, white light

flowers on the wall

Oh my bones

I recall my younger days

of ignorance and days of pride

but the mask can grow into the skin

until one day you just die

Now I'm invisible

like a blackbirds shadow

My face is yours reflected in

you rippled shallow waters

What we are is more precious

when seen trough eyes

Fed by blood that feels the pull

of sunset's tide

When the winter can't stop the bloom

and the end is long delayed

I will show you that small room

White sheets, white light

Flowers on the wall

Oh my bones
