Bones in the Current (version 2)

Verse

Black water pulls at the shore line

Current walks where my name used to be

Nothing floats up from beneath me

Only iron breathing in the sea

Chainmail rusts where the tide runs cold

Boats move silent past the pier

I am not a shadow left hanging

I was never something worth keeping here

Pre-Chorus

Let go of the last word I held on to

Let it wash away with the foam

Nothing about me stays afloat in this water

This is the end of everything that's mine

Chorus

Bones in the current, no name, no face

Rust and salt erase every trace

I sink down into what I was never

Not a shadow left to hold or lose it

Bones in the current, not a ghost, just weight

Down where the iron never learns my name

Verse

Seagulls wheel above the breakers

Nothing answers when they cry out loud

Every step I took back up from nothing

Never felt like anything was owned

Crown of shell still half-submerged in silt

Current pulled it off before it landed

I am only the pull that holds this harbor

Not the king it held, not the ground it settled

Pre-Chorus

Let go of the last word I held on to

Let it wash away with the foam

Nothing about me stays afloat in this water

This is the end of everything that's mine

Chorus

Bones in the current, no name, no face

Rust and salt erase every trace

I sink down into what I was never

Not a shadow left to hold or lose it

Bones in the current, not a ghost, just weight

Down where the iron never learns my name

Bridge

No one dives for what I leave behind

Current closes over nothing left to find

I'm not lost — I am already gone before the tide moves

This is how the water remembers me as nothing it owns

Chorus

Bones in the current, no name, no face

Rust and salt erase every trace

I sink down into what I was never

Not a shadow left to hold or lose it

Bones in the current, not a ghost, just weight

Down where the iron never learns my name
