The Bones Underneath - Averi

The air here is cold and the memories are old

Like the occupants of the house I thought I knew

Where my past resides and where I grew

Don’t you remember?

I’m falling far behind in understanding this blood of mine

This is why I stayed away all this time

I’m not sure why I came.

I guess I thought it would be the same

But it’s all so far from what I remembered

I can see myself in you

Can you see yourself in me too?

Please wake me up from this bad dream

So I’ll find myself where you’ll remember me

I find myself reaching out to be

Something I didn’t think was me

I guess I’m wrong again

What here are you hiding me from?

How this denial keeps us undone

I’m far from remembered

I can see myself in you

Can you see yourself in me too?

Please wake me up from this bad dream

So I’ll find myself where you’ll remember me

Can you tell me what’s happened here since

I’ve been gone?

Because the smell in the air and the feeling is

All wrong

I’m not invisible

Are you waiting to see how long I’ll last?

Before my sanity breaks and I collapse?

I’m not invincible

I can see myself in you

Can you see yourself in me too?

Please wake me up from this bad dream

So I’ll find myself where you’ll remember me

Is anyone here the same as when I left them that day?

Would you reply if I called you by name?

I drove with the windows down, tires gripped to the rain

Covered ground

And there in the windshield I saw myself in you
