lirik lagu dylan owen - bones and ribs
[intro: aidan cooper]
the end of another painful run
hoping tomorrow never comes
they say it’s life, but it feels more like h-ll
and i just had a second look in the mirror of the life i took
are those eyes mine? ’cause f-ck if i can’t tell
[chorus: aidan cooper]
and we are ribs, just bones and ribs
oh, still broken from the pain we had as kids
and we are ribs, just bones and ribs
left in the streets where we first found our sins
[verse 1: dylan owen]
if you dig deep down enough inside yourself
you’re bound to hit some lonesomeness
down below your cloak of skin
down where it’s just bones and ribs
where there’s nothing there but holes to st-tch
muscles, foam and limbs
just scattered pieces where the cracking regions of your soul get chipped
i starved my feelings, stripped ’em down to nothing
they’re just bolts that click
i used to live off my body of work
now it’s just bones and ribs
i thought i’d become someone else
one day, i almost did
but you don’t become someone else
when someone else’s clothes can fit
[chorus: aidan cooper]
we’re just ribs, just bones and ribs
oh, still broken from the pain we had as kids
and we’re just ribs, just bones and ribs
left in the streets where we first found our sins
[verse 2: dylan owen]
no matter how high the tide gets i try to roll with it
in new york, down at sea level, i’d never felt as low as this
the last few years were affirmations, mantras, anecdotal myths
dylan, you always left the answer blowing in the wind
so what if i don’t ever make it home again?
what if i never see the poetry in life
the way that leonard cohen did?
will i still have a hole to fill, a skeleton of bones to pick?
to strike something that’s gold, all that dirt and stone left over
stretched right over the rest of my cartilage, i’m growing thin
i take the tissue in between my joints and wipe my nose with it
so i don’t know, i walk alone below the bridge
re-walk the diner rooftops where i used to try not to approach the edge
when i’d need hot cement to lock my feet down just to hold me in
i feel the wind pinch my cheek at last
and say, “you’ve gotten older kid”
finally, i see you underneath it all
and you aren’t even broken, you’re just cold, weathered, sober, different
i tried so hard to shelter out the lonesomeness, i dove in it
so i’ve been numb, nothing, only this
bones and ribs, bones and ribs
i’ve been numb, nothing, only bones and ribs
[bridge: aidan cooper]
been day after day of just running on bones
to get through a night spent awake
been year after year of just running from homes
to get through a life we forsake
and i won’t hurt, no, anymore
for the times you won’t, the times you won’t remember
and i won’t bleed, no, anymore
for the time we lost, we finally lost forever
[chorus: aidan cooper]
and we’re just ribs, just bones and ribs
oh, still broken from the pain we had as kids
and we’re just ribs, just ribs and bones
oh, still broken from the time we left our home
[outro: aidan cooper, dylan owen, both]
the end of another painful run, hoping tomorrow never comes
they say it’s life, but it feels more like h-ll
and i just had a second look in the mirror of the life i took
are those eyes mine? ’cause f-ck if i can’t tell
