[Verse 1] I learned my name again in a mirror that would not lie The scar on my shoulder draws a map where the old road died I used to ask for back then like it lived in a hidden drawer Now I fold up the question and set it down on the floor [Pre-Chorus] You can call it a break you can call it a loss But I’m still the one who gets to choose what it costs [Chorus] These are my hands now I still say yes These are my bones now I still know best I do not beg time I do not plead I live in this body and it lives in me (These are my bones now) (These are my bones now) [Verse 2] The morning takes patience buttons, socks, and the stairs Some days I move like weather some days I move like prayer There’s a line in my skin where the old fire used to run I don’t need it restored to know what I have become [Pre-Chorus] You can call it a break you can call it a loss But I’m still the one who gets to choose what it costs [Chorus] These are my hands now I still say yes These are my bones now I still know best I do not beg time I do not plead I live in this body and it lives in me (These are my bones now) (These are my bones now) [Bridge] If the mirror brings strangers I let them pass I keep the keys in my pocket I keep my own name fast No holy undoing no perfect return Only this clean knowing what leaves can’t unlearn [Final Chorus] These are my hands now I still say yes These are my bones now I still know best I do not beg time I do not plead I live in this body and it lives in me (These are my bones now) (These are my bones now)
