These Bones

Music by Tom Gorsuch
Lyrics, Vocals, Production and Melody by Tracy Hayden

These bones are settled
Stuck in mud
And never found again
A missing person, a chalk outline
Of the one who was within

When the sun shined bright in golden air
Life was golden too
When the river's crossed
It never feels like the first time you went through

The places are there
But everyone has up and gone
A whole deserted town
On the inside of my heart

Oh, I'm alive
At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Without a home

Oh, I'm alive
At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Alone

Someone, please look for me
I'm in the cracks again
The animator's up and left
A walk-in who forgets

What it's like to really live
Track the clues that you left
My heart is beating out
I'm lost in the woods again

With the ghosts of those
Who were everything
They live inside my chest

Oh, I'm alive
At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Without a home

Oh, I'm alive
At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Alone

Oh, I'm alive
Oh, I'm alive
Oh, I'm alive

At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Alone
