Bone Collector

Shed your armor on the forest floor

I'll make a home from what you ignore

Fertile ground, harmonious choir

My body an altar adorned in detritus

The light shines where you used to be

Ever so softly, watching your dust turn into jewelry

Hold on to me

I'll keep what's left

And wear your memory on my chest

An ancient one, even older than the land

Life and death, hand in hand

I'll keep what's left (I'll keep what's left)

Every hollow I crawl inside

Feels like a temple where something died

I'm spinning silk every night and day

Transforming all of the decay

I bloom beneath your fading glow

From everything you let go

A detrivore with diamond teeth

A perfect friend for my enemy

Strike a balance

The light shines where you used to be

Ever so softly, watching your dust turn into poetry

It's your story (your story now)

I'll keep what's left

And wear your memory on my chest

An ancient one, even older than the land

Life and death, hand in hand

I'll keep what's left

I'll keep what's left

Life and death, hand in hand
