Bones Lyrics by Mercy Machine

Mercy Machine

[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 of familiar blood
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
