Dead Bones

from V​á​monos by Naive Thieves

/

lyrics

I fought off thoughts of being taut while bats flew overhead. This closet smirks with creaks and cracks as it sees me shaking scared. And I should know better than to dig up skeletons. But somehow I found my way to that place where dead bones lay. They dance with such an elegance like classical ballet. And I should know better than to dig up skeletons. But here we are with our conversation as foreign as “Côte d’Ivoire”. Even though I brushed your hair behind your ears I can tell you’re wishing I would disappear. But here we are staring at our dirty counterparts, and I should know better but I still don’t. I make my way through blinding light that ends this dreadful cave. And with one sharp quip released from my lips I beckon for this to end. And I should know better than to dance with skeletons. So I grab her wrist as the bones persist to rattle off their last remark. But I’ve convinced her once or twice to leave skeletons in the dark. And I should know better than to dig up skeletons. But here we are with our conversation as foreign as “Côte d’Ivoire”. Even though I brushed your hair behind your ears I can tell you’re wishing I would disappear. But here we are staring at our dirty counterparts, And I should know better but I still don’t.
