Bone Voyage - Caravels

It crawls through the cracks and it seeps in between

It sows itself up and it roots itself deep

Gnaws at you incessantly

Binds with you, becomes your belief

An echo that’s cursed to repeat

An echo that’s cursed to repeat

You try, but you can’t create

When you speak you reverberate

Remarkably you even ache

With a sense of symmetry

Quietly you seethe, you boil, blister

Quietly you sway, spill over the lip

How quickly you cave in to the weight

How a little sand and dirt can fill the cracks

Of the walls of the letters of your name

Quietly you seethe, you boil, blister

Quietly you sway, spill over the lip

You flare up, you grit your teeth you ball your fists

Your blind rage, it comes to you at night in fits

You swing your arms, curse the day you were born

You drip with venom, but your words are well-worn

You throw yourself into your cause, so much that it strips you bare

You strike the earth with all your force, yet you leave no mark

You throw yourself into your cause, so much that it strips you bare

You strike the earth with all your force, so it strikes you back

I’ll commit you to the depths of memory

I’ll remember you if you’ll remember me

I’ll store you safe, lock you away, and swallow the key

I’ll remember you if you’ll remember me
