[Verse 1] I keep nettles in my sleeve And ash in my grin Black salt on my fingers When the night's moving in I read bones like scripture In a thrift-store ring Old gods in my pocket And the roots that they bring [Pre-Chorus] I don't pray for mercy I don't beg for grace I make little altars Out of ruin and lace Hear the floorboards creak now Feel the circle spin I'm the kind of strange girl That the dark lets in [Chorus] Bone moon, take me in Bone moon, take me in I live by the thorns I live by the sin Bone moon, take me in Bone moon, take me in I bow to the wild And I let it begin (let it begin) [Verse 2] Sage smoke in the hallway Rain on my boots A jar full of yarrow And a knife-root truth I don't chase approval I don't dress my fear I let the crows eat first Then I pull them near Every cracked little omen Every crooked sign Tells me the old road Still remembers mine [Pre-Chorus] I don't pray for mercy I don't beg for grace I make little altars Out of ruin and lace Hear the floorboards creak now Feel the circle spin I'm the kind of strange girl That the dark lets in [Chorus] Bone moon, take me in Bone moon, take me in I live by the thorns I live by the sin Bone moon, take me in Bone moon, take me in I bow to the wild And I let it begin (let it begin) [Bridge] If the world wants pretty It can keep its crown I was born for the roots And the underground I don't fear the shadows I wear them well Every spell I break Is a door to myself [Chorus] Bone moon, take me in Bone moon, take me in I live by the thorns I live by the sin Bone moon, take me in Bone moon, take me in I bow to the wild And I let it begin (let it begin)
