feather and bone - gaze is ghost lyrics

Loading...

[verse 2]
the beat on the concrete, run
quicken the feet and blood
beckon breath to come
rattle of bone behind
off*beat but keeping time
that net ain’t mine

[bridge]
while out on the water
a pull on the line
and i take up from under
the cold, white gleam of bone tied

[verse 2]
on to an empty road
buildings left long ago
concrete over*grown
the rattle of bone behind
i’m fading with the light, the light

[chorus]
sing to the bones, cut and cut the net
it’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
until sleep calls me home, singing for the dead
and in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says
[verse 3]
no nail rest upon my hand
took to a northern land
built a boat for man
sailed upon the flood then came back when all was done
but that is only half a lie, half

[chorus]
sing to the bones, cut and cut the net
it’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
until sleep calls me home, i’m singing for the dead
and in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says

[bridge]
fecund flesh, i’m breathing deeper this time
made my arms, thighs stronger
rooted to the earth i am fine
made it like i never saw that sea
i feel the answer to all that these bones can be
i feel the answer to all that

[chorus]
sing to the bones, cut and cut the net
it’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
until sleep calls me home, i’m singing for the dead
and in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says
