Cries of the Elephant Man Bones Lyrics by Nicole Dollanganger

Curdled Milk

2012

[Verse 1]
When you died, I heard the cries in the night
Of your soul, leaving the deformed flesh that shamed your mind
All of those years, your bones wept
But now there is no skin left
The worms have eaten it, you're free to go
[Refrain]
And I will take your bones
And with them build a home, home
[Verse 2]
Burdened at birth inside of a face no mother could love
She let them shame you like an animal
They broke your limbs and beat in
Your swollen head 'til your neck
Shattered to pieces they put in the ground
[Refrain]
And I will take your bones
And with them build a home, home
[Bridge]
Gooble gobble, gooble gobble
We accept you, we accept you, one of us
Gooble gobble, gooble gobble
We accept you, we accept you, one of us
Gooble gobble, gooble gobble
We accept you, we accept you, one of us
[Chorus]
I hear your soft bones crying
I hear your soft bones crying
I hear your soft bones crying in the night
[Outro]
I am not an elephant!
I am not an animal!
I am a human being!
I am a–
