Description
A ragged rhythm breaks through this track, as if the heart is beating in a storm of regret and acute longing. The words are like shards of glass: bold, yet imbued with vulnerability, as if someone is standing on the edge of a cliff, demanding devotion, but deep down begging for closeness. ‘Bones of Brick’ sounds like a spell of unyielding strength, but cracks appear in a desperate plea - embrace me, show me how to be. It is a soundtrack of love, fierce but broken, where pain stretches like a shadow when no one is around. The melody haunts you, hanging in the air, heavy as an unspoken question in the dark.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Come kiss my ring, I'll be the king
Just leave your last breath out for me
You broke your skin, I'll break your wings
Just leave your last breath out for me
We can't go back, we can't relax
We can't go back to where we left
I just need ya, I can't be there
We can't go back to where we
I feel your pain
It hurts 'cause I'm not around
Show me, 'cause I'm useless
Show me, show me, show me baby, I'm so useless
Hold me 'cause I'm new to this
Hold me, hold me, hold me baby, I'm so new to this
Well, he had bones made of brick, he had bones that were pure
And I see clearly now that the stakes stole your crown
He was hit in the head, and he dropped to the ground
She looked up and asked herself is there any God around?
I feel your pain
It hurts 'cause I'm not around
And deep inside
It hurts when you're not around
(Alone)
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
He had bones made of brick
