Ben Varney - Wings of Bone Lyrics

As the Kraken 'round my leg slowly drags me to the depths
I watch you float above me still tied around my neck
See I used to blame you for the shadow in my step
For the weight of all my angst and an obsession with my death
So as we descend into the dark with the debris
I think about the times that you flew off and left me
I watched you from afar, the brightest starling in the dark
Watched you stretch among the stars as I sunk into the tar
You were always the best of me
More than just an effigy, we share the same identity
Still my loneliness enveloped me
Shot you down a thousand times but now I found the energy

As we sink deeper with the pieces of the hull
I see a dying beam of light streaming through your skull
Know it's too late for me but you gotta make it home
So I gotta let you fly with your hefty wings of bone
I break these ties to watch you fly again
You rise up through the water as the Kraken's grip is tightening
A flash of lightening, you fly into horizons then
I start to crack a smile as I breathe and let the tide come in
