Bones Hum Awake

Verse 1

Cold settles slow

Beneath my crooked spine

Bones rumble in silence

Fingers flex, buried beneath earth

Shadows press close, listen—

One word

"Awake"

Amber leaking in lines

Memories drip down—the marrow, the moss

I

See myself split

Green in the dark

Half-alive, half-returning

Chorus

Soil awake

My name in earth, a shape I feel

Decay keeps me—

I linger, hung between

Soil awake

Mind crawling back to life

Rotting but aware

Soil awake

Post-Chorus

Awake

Awake

Awake

Bones hum awake

Verse 2

Moss on marrow, velvet touch

Soft rustle rising, feverish, slow

Light leaks

Honey seeps through veins

Hands sticky, sweet

Ritual rhythm, stick and stone

I dream in root

I creak, I groan

Silence sings in pulsing tones

Sing—sing—sing

Stillness within, but all alive

One breath escapes

Crawling back inside

Chorus

Soil awake

My name in earth, a shape I feel

Decay keeps me—

Still humming, still aware

Soil awake

Mind not disappeared

Alive below, beginnings near

Soil awake

Post-Chorus

Awake

Awake

Bones hum awake

Bridge

Under the hush—

Drip, honey falls

Dream marrow burrows deep

Roots remember, marrow sleeps

Awe, terror, beauty—all remain

A thousand voices under ground

Called and called, again

I awake

Chorus

Soil awake

My name in earth, a shape I feel

Decay keeps me—

Hung between

Soil awake

Mind crawling back to life

Rotting but aware

Soil awake

Post-Chorus

Awake

Awake

Awake

Bones hum—awake
