Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) I laid my skin by the river bend Where the cold water don’t pretend Every scar like a story told Every fear I learned to hold Wind said, “boy, you don’t belong To the shape you’ve worn this long” So I closed my eyes, let the current choose What I’d become when I let go of you (Chorus) I was dust, I was stone, I was barely alive Now I’m fur and feather, learning how to survive Every ending sings a quieter tune Turns bones into bloom, turns bones into bloom I don’t mourn the ghost I knew I just shed and let it through Every death makes space for truth Turns me into something new (Verse 2) Woke up light with a heartbeat wild Running free like a forest child Paws on earth, I could feel it breathe Every root had a hand on me Then I changed with the morning sun Grew wings where there once were none Sky so wide, it called my name Said “you ain’t gotta stay the same” (Chorus) I was dust, I was stone, I was barely alive Now I’m claw and instinct, learning how to survive Every ending sings a quieter tune Turns bones into bloom, turns bones into bloom I don’t mourn the ghost I knew I just shed and let it through Every death makes space for truth Turns me into something new (Bridge) Maybe I’ll be a deer next fall Soft-eyed, listening to it all Or a wolf when the nights grow long Howling out what I held in wrong Or a bird when I need to leave Every form just a way to breathe I ain’t lost, I ain’t gone astray I just change when I outgrow a day (Outro Chorus) I was lost, I was numb, I was stuck in my skin Now I’m teeth and wind, and I’m born again Every ending hums a sacred tune Turns bones into bloom, turns bones into bloom So if you see me fade from view Don’t you fear what I’m going through I’m just dying the way I do— To come back as something new
