Bones Lyrics by Oliver Céleste

Sunken Bodies EP

2014

(I'm still breathing and I just don't understand why)

[Verse 1]
Every sunken body winds up on the shore
I can feel it coming, seen this all before
I can't stop the motion of this homing tide
I just watch the ocean crashing at my side
Yeah, yeah, ohh

All the pain I buried swims on hopes and me
My own cemetery drifting at my feet
History repeats itself just like before
I don't wanna know myself any more
Yeah, yeah, ohh

[Chorus]
Then you hear some kind of mermaid calling me under
I guess, underneath the sea, you can't hear the thunder
There's nothing left for me, under the water I can breathe
I just cannot sail away for free, I'm not allowed to leave

[Post-Chorus]
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore
Like bones
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore
Like bones

[Verse 2]
Lost and tangled in something just like a curse
Bound and shackled with my whole body immersed
And this feeling that'll never be alright
I'm still breathing but I just don't understand why
Sinking, like bones

[Chorus]
Then you hear some kind of mermaid calling me under
I guess, underneath the sea, you can't hear the thunder
There's nothing left for me, under the water I can breathe
I just cannot sail away for free, I'm not allowed to leave

[Post-Chorus]
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore
Like bones
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore
Like bones

[Bridge]
I'm not allowed to go, not allowed to take control
I'm not allowed to leave this place, not allowed to save my own face
Sinking, just like bones

[Chorus]
Then you hear some kind of mermaid calling me under
I guess, underneath the sea, you can't hear the thunder
There's nothing left for me, under the water I can breathe
I just cannot sail away for free, I'm not allowed to leave

[Post-Chorus]
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore
Like bones
Take me home, wash me up upon the shore
Like bones
