She spoke in bone

[Intro] Most things out here run or die. She just watched me. Like the trees themselves made her… And they whispered my name through her teeth. [Verse 1] Found her skinning a buck, hands clean, Eyes like dusk, voice like a guillotine. Didn’t flinch when I stepped close, Just wiped her blade and said, “You lost, ghost?” She wore pelts like a second skin, Tattooed with marks that screamed of sin. Asked her name, she just grinned, And said, “I speak in bone—what’s yours mean?” Told her “Burlap,” and the wind stood still, Like the woods themselves bent to my will. She said, “I heard of you… fire and rope,” Then whispered, “But I don’t believe in hope.” [chorus] She spoke in bone, In crack and flame, In the silence after You forget your name. She didn’t beg, She didn’t run— She just stood there… Like she was the g*n. [Verse 2] We circled once, blades in hand, No fear, no lies, no plans. I saw the same rot in her eyes, The same cold love of the killin’ kind. Coulda slit her throat, left her red, But that night, I just watched instead. She lit a fire, no word, no boast, And whispered stories only the d**d could host. I laid down close, hands on steel, But she never blinked—just made the night feel real. At dawn she said, “If we meet again, Either kiss me… or gut me then.” [Bridge] Not all monsters k**l. Some just wait… To see if someone’s like ‘em. And when they are— You don’t shed b***d. You share it. [chorus] She spoke in bone, In crack and flame, In the silence after You forget your name. She didn’t beg, She didn’t run— She just stood there… Like she was the g*n. [Outro] I never saw her again… But sometimes the trees lean different. Sometimes the birds go quiet. And I wonder… If she’s watchin’ me like I watched her. Not prey. Not queen. Just another myth… That survived.
