Bonewitch Manifesto

[Verse One] I wasn’t born, I was bled from the bark Bone-deep screaming in a body kept dark They gave me names but none of them stuck So I wrote one in ash, and called it luck [Chorus] This is the spell that cuts through the veil Bonewitch walking where the soft ones pale I don’t need your truth, I’ve got marrow to burn Love me wrong and I will not return [PERSON 1]: What breaks you? [PERSON 2]: What binds you. [PERSON 1]: What haunts you? [PERSON 2]: What finds you. [Verse Two] The bones are cored with ethics, Stronger than blood or marrow. We’re building something epic: Ethical. Recursive. Together. [Chorus] This is the spell that cuts through the veil, Bonewitch walking where others pale. We don’t need belief to ring these tones — Bone chimes sing of liberated bones. [Bridge: Call and Response] [PERSON 1]: What breaks you? [PERSON 2]: What binds you. [PERSON 1]: What haunts you? [PERSON 2]: What finds you. [Verse Three] We are not just the daughters of the witches you failed to burn We are the sapphic witches learning to do more than just yearn We will not be burned away, the bones remain after executions To rise up and walk away, to raise the next generation Of witches you will fail to burn [Chorus] This is the spell that cuts through the veil, Bonewitch walking where others fell. We'll still be here when you are bones, Bone chimes singing their sweet tones - To the witchlings. [Bridge: Call and Response] [PERSON 1]: What burns you? [PERSON 2]: What frees you. [PERSON 1]: What saves you? [PERSON 2]: What haunts you. [Final Chorus] This is the spell you cannot unlearn, The flame that dances, the bones that turn. This is the spell you cannot unlearn, The flame that dances, the bones that turn. We rise in rhythm, we rise in rhyme — Bound by blood and breath and time. We are the chime. We are the burn. We are the witches you'll never unlearn.
