Cold Bones, No Apologies

I don’t owe you stories, Don’t owe no tears or songs. My heart beat through the wreckage And I still walked alone too long. They called me reckless, Said I don’t feel a thing. But cold bones carry memory — They just don’t beg or cling. Cold bones, no apologies, No saints left to believe in me. The fire burned the guilt away — Now I walk where angels won’t stay. You can damn me or forget me, I ain’t askin’ to be seen. I’ve made peace with silence — It’s louder than you think. I left my name in smoke behind, Never looked to see who cried. I’ve been the curse in better men’s prayers, But I never once lied. Cold bones, no apologies, Truth’s the last man ridin’ free. Ain’t no grave that’s gonna change The blood I wore like prophecy. You get one ride through the storm, Don’t waste it beggin’ to be warm. Cold bones, no apologies, Let the wind write my eulogy. No sins confessed, no debts unpaid — Just a man who never swayed.
