What My Bones Remember #SCPHChallenge #GentleGiant

I walk the same red road my mother walked Before I understood what walking meant Something older than my own first breath moved right into me Nobody sat me down to teach it, the dust already knew my name Every road I think I'm choosing, someone walked it first I just fill the print already pressed into the ground I never learned to leave a place I only learned to stay I don't forget, I inherit Every name becomes a road I know Long after the years forget your voice I'm still the one who carries you home I found where the bones lie still Stood there longer than I meant Not grief, just recognition The shape of you still fits my silence Nobody taught the herd to grieve We only learned to remain I don't forget, I carry Every silence becomes a place I know Long after the world moves past you I'm still the ground that remembers you Maybe I don't hold the memory Maybe it's the one holding me Every road I think is only mine Was worn down by feet before me I don't forget, I become it Every name I carry turns to road Long after the years have taken your face I'm still the one who won't let you fade (still) (mmm) The road remembers Even when I don't
