bones on the beach - Paris Paloma

[03:27.0]When I’m lying in my bed
[03:27.0]I like to pretend
[03:27.0]That my body is just bones on the beach
[03:27.0]It’s the first time I feel rested
[03:27.0]Since my mother’s womb I slept in
[03:27.0]My last home between the stones and the sea
[03:27.0]Some overzealous anthropology professor
[03:27.0]With all his students in tow
[03:27.0]Carry spades and books for studying, stumbling
[03:27.0]Discover me
[03:27.0]I implore them to leave me alone
[03:27.0]Say, give me one millennia more there
[03:27.0]Maybe I will belong more there
[03:27.0]Than any place in which I was living
[03:27.0]When I’m bones on the beach
[03:27.0]With the end long past nigh
[03:27.0]One eternal sigh
[03:27.0]I’ve no breath that is left to release
[03:27.0]And the loudness of mind has been gone since I died
[03:27.0]Was I meant in this life to find peace?
[03:27.0]Before I became bones on the beach
[03:27.0]I hear footsteps
[03:27.0]And bones they cannot look left
[03:27.0]But I register her stepping nearby
[03:27.0]Her face is peaceful
[03:27.0]She’s looked upon life’s evil
[03:27.0]And considered it next to infinite skies
[03:27.0]She doesn’t ask for more time
[03:27.0]Give me one millennia more there
[03:27.0]Maybe I will belong more there
[03:27.0]Than any place in which I was living
[03:27.0]When I’m bones on the beach
[03:27.0]When I’m bones on the beach
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think it will)
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think it will)
[03:27.0]What I long for’s nonexistent
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think it will)
[03:27.0]In any belief system
[03:27.0]All I, all I want is some rest
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think it will)
[03:27.0]There's no sentience in death
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think it will)
[03:27.0]Just darkness at the worst
[03:27.0]Temporality and permanence
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think it will)
[03:27.0]I don’t know what’s on the other side
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you hope it will)
[03:27.0]But I don’t think it’s what I had in mind
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think it will)
[03:27.0]I hope I find some rest in this life
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think it will)
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you hope it will)
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think it will)
[03:27.0](Death won’t bring what you think)
