My name my name my name my name,
My name my name my name is vain,
And a lie that I tell myself
Is a lie that I made myself...
remember...
Everything that I've said,
like a seed that I've thrown,
It don't break no ground,
It don't break no ground.
Now I'm tapping my wrist, for any vein,
And so for the love of you,
yet more, the love of me:
I strike the rock
I strike the rock
to rush the water prone.
Why strike the rock?
Why sound a soul?
If only to turn into Moses bones?
What truth will suffer me to shine?
No truth will suffer me to shine,
but I will suffer her,
What truth will suffer me to shine?
No truth will suffer me to shine.
I've come to be seen, and be seen seeing,
I've come to receive my blessing,
My heart is teething,
to be seen seeing seeing.
What is within comes only without,
Belief is only stillborn doubt that shouts, shouts,
My name my name my name my name,
My name my name my name is vain,
And a lie that I tell myself,
Is a lie that I made myself...
Remember...
What truth will suffer me to shine?
No truth will suffer me to shine,
but I will suffer her,
What truth will suffer me to shine?
No truth will suffer me to shine,
But I will suffer her, I will suffer her
I will suffer her...
What truth will suffer me that's mine,
No truth will suffer me that's mine, mine, mine?
"My Bones Are Singing" is a reminder that sometimes the simplest truths are the most profound. Those Lavender Whales strike the difficult balance between earnestness and sincerity, without emotional pandering or thematic dilution. It’s a peculiar, refreshing, and beautiful record.

Like when you find something private that someone dropped in a public place, and you decide to open it to find out to whom it belongs, and you read something personal accidentally, and you find yourself in it. You know what I mean? Andrew
