Bones in the River

[Musikstil: Kaleo x Hozier]

 


---

[Verse 1]
There’s a river runnin’ through my chest,
Cold as truth, but I confess
Every lie I tried to hide
Floats like bones along the tide.

I’ve been walkin’ through the hollow fields,
Carryin’ the weight I never healed.
And every echo in the rain
Sounds like someone sayin’ my name.


---

[Pre-Chorus]
If the night remembers me,
Let it speak honestly.


---

[Chorus]
Bones in the river,
Truth in the mud,
I washed my hands
But they still taste like blood.
Every sin I tried to deliver
Came back like a shiver —
Bones in the river.


---

[Verse 2]
I saw mercy in a dying flame,
Soft and weak, but still the same.
It whispered low, with tired breath:
“You can rise from any death.”

But I’ve been starvin’ for a sign,
Somethin’ pure, somethin’ divine.
Still the only thing that’s clear
Is the silence I keep here.


---

[Pre-Chorus]
If the night remembers me,
Let it speak honestly.


---

[Chorus]
Bones in the river,
Truth in the mud,
I washed my hands
But they still taste like blood.
Every sin I tried to deliver
Came back like a shiver —
Bones in the river.


---

[Bridge – leise, wie ein Geständnis]
Let the water drag my shame,
Let the current carve my name.
If I drown before I’m free,
Let the river speak for me.


---

[Final Chorus – dunkler, voller Druck]
Bones in the river,
Truth in the mud,
I washed my hands
But they still taste like blood.
If I break, may it be forever —
Take my sins, take my tether —
Bones in the river.
