Flesh And Bone

(album: Death Can Wait - 2024)

Your voice is calling
The sound of silk, caress my soul
More bitter than sweet in the parting
Don't you know I'm flesh and bone?

The void is calling
And when I am warm, I long for cold
Though I get too lost in the longing
God, I love to send letters home

I don't feel the bite on my skin when you're in front of me
Time apart will be return in blessing
Upon blessing, deepened loyalty
Because all that's left with distance are the little things
I don't know where to begin
I think you're royalty
Living art dancing, laughing
A wave crested, tossed my heart to sea
The only left to navigate, this crown-less king

A velvet void, it is calling
When I'm warm, I long for the cold
Oh God, it's bittersweet, it's misery, it's agony for me
Don't you know I'm flesh and bone?
I'm flesh and bone

Have you felt it?
The soul led by gravity, pull unknown
Have you walked those streets you dreamt to roam?
In the midst of a mob, but still so alone

So long I've travelled
Heart filled with joy
Avoiding battle
Have I been drowning out the noise?
It takes the silence
To hear the soul
Takes drifting aimless
To miss control

A velvet void, it is calling
When I'm warm, I long for the cold
Oh God, it's bittersweet, it's misery, it's agony for me
Don't you know I'm flesh and bone?
I'm flesh and bone
I'm flesh and bone
I'm flesh and bone

If you're lonely, you are loved
If you walk with death, you're one of us
If you're lonely, you are loved
If you walk with death, you're one of us
If you're lonely, you are loved
If you walk with death, you're one of us
