Bones into bloom

(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
