Bones I'm In

by John Maksym

/

about

Bones I’m In is a song that resolves a period in my life that was toxic, where I was unable to focus my energy on songwriting, though I had this guitar riff that stuck with me for over 7 years. Once rebuilding confidence in myself, I wrote this song and brought closure to that period. Through the pandemic I’ve connected with musicians across North America to remotely record and bring this song to life, pushing myself through moments of vulnerability and experiencing incredible personal growth.

lyrics

Lyrics:

If I remember
It was Sunday afternoon
The day our ship went off course
I’d been hiding from you
At least a couple months
And quickly filled with remorse

You uncovered all my skin
Left my skeleton shaking with the bones I’m in
You discovered all my faults
There’s not a damn thing I’m afraid to talk about

You became another scar
You are just another scar

Long nights spent thinkin’ about
How things could ever change
I knew deep down they could not
Still I tried everything
To see if I could rearrange
My heart was tied up in knots

You uncovered all my skin
Left my skeleton shaking with the bones I’m in
You discovered all my faults
There’s not a damn thing I’m afraid to talk about

You became another scar
You are just another scar

The tension to boil with the mercury rising (rising up)
A flickering fade to our flame that was dying (flames burn out)
A glimmer of hope, emotionally riding (ride it out)
Momentary waves of despair

You uncovered all my skin
Left my skeleton shaking with the bones I’m in
You discovered all my faults
There’s not a damn thing I’m afraid to talk about

You became another scar
You are just another scar

You uncovered all my skin
Left my skeleton shaking with the bones I’m in
You discovered all my faults
There’s not a damn thing I’m afraid to talk about
You uncovered all my skin
Left my skeleton shaking with the bones I’m in
You discovered all my faults
There’s not a damn thing, a damn thing, a damn thing

You became another scar
You are just another scar
