Bones On The Beach (Audiotree Live Version)

[Intro]

(Death won't bring what you hope it will)

[Verse 1]

When I'm lying in my bed, I like to pretend

That my body is just bones on the beach

It's the first time I feel rested

Since my mother's womb I slept in

My last home between the stones and the sea

Some overzealous anthropology professor

With all his students in tow

Carry spades and books for studying

Stumbling, discover me

I implore them to leave me alone

[Chorus]

Say, "Give me one millennium more thеre"

Maybe I will belong morе there

Than any place in which I was living

When I'm bones on the beach

[Verse 2]

With the end long past nigh one eternal sigh

I've no breath that is left to release

And the loudness of mind has been gone since I died

Was I meant in this life to find peace

Before I became bones on the beach?

I hear footsteps and bones, they cannot look left

But I register her stepping nearby

Her face is peaceful

She's looked upon life's evil

And considered it next to infinite skies

She doesn't ask for more time

[Chorus]

Give me one millennium more there

Maybe I will belong more there

Than any place in which I was living

When I'm bones on the beach

When I'm bones on the beach

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]

(Death won't bring what you think it will)

(Death won't bring what you think it will)

What I long for's nonexistent in any belief system (Death won't bring what you think it will)

All I, all I want is some rest, there's no sentience in death (Death won't bring what you think it will)

Just the darkness at the worst, temporality and permanence (Death won't bring what you think it will)

I don't know what's on the other side (Death won't bring what you think it will)

(Death won't bring what you think it will)

But I don't think it's what I had in mind (Death won't bring what you think it will)

I hope I find some rest in this life (Death won't bring what you think it will)

(Death won't bring what you hope it will)

(Death won't bring what you think it will)

(Death won't bring what you think)
