Bones for Vows (Lyrics)

Verse 1
Knees sunk in river mud,
Moon bleeds silver on the lake.
You rise a breath of feathered hush
No spell, no curse, just my hands shaking.

Verse 2
I named you ‘mine’ like carving stone,
Pressed petals where your wings should fold.
You bowed your neck, so still, so tame
Not grace, but waiting for the cage I hold.

Pre-Chorus
Oh, how I praised your silent flight,
While stitching chains from wedding lace

Chorus
YOU WERE NEVER MINE TO KEEP!
Just flesh I dressed in borrowed light.
NOW THE LAKE DRINKS BACK ITS OWN
And I’m left counting bones I mistook for vows.
[Inst: Swelling strings dissolve into sparse piano]

Verse 3
Your eyes—black pools without a shore
Reflect the lie I wore so proud:
That love could leash a creature made
Of water, wind, and wanting loud.

Pre-Chorus
I built an altar out of thorns,
Lit candles with your fading cry

Chorus
YOU WERE NEVER MINE TO KEEP!
Just flesh I dressed in borrowed light.
NOW THE LAKE DRINKS BACK ITS OWN
And I’m left counting bones I mistook for vows.

[Bridge: Tremolo strings, dissonant piano clusters]
(whispered)

The reeds remember what I did...
They hum your true name in the silt.

Chorus
YOU WERE NEVER MINE TO BREAK!
Just wildness bent until it bled.
NOW THE DARK CLAIMS WHAT’S ITS OWN
And I drown in feathers I called home.

[Outro: Piano fades, single cello sustains into silence]
(feather rustling)
...never mine...
