What Remains Lyrics


Oh, I see you in your cobra nest
All dressed up in your Sunday best
In the opal morning light
See your gun there shining bright
Shining bright
Now the storm is on its way
Coming here to break the day
Steaming rain
Oh, you go shoot me down
Take my halo, yolk and crown
Yolk and crown
'Cause I've been to the darkest place I know
You, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
Now you go softly soft
Picking out better bones than your own
Oh, I see you creep in the dark
Sticking pins into the rain

To wash away
I've been to the only place I know
It's just bones
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
Just bones
Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones
So how can love bare to see you, bare to see you go alone?
I can't bloom this speeding heart's got the same bone
As your own, as your own
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
And I've been to the darkest place you know
It's just bones
Bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones, bones, bones

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Oblique Brown is the eponymous first official release from long time collaborators Zeeb from The Soulful MP's and Chee Malabar of Himalayan Project. Having previously worked together on Himalayan Project's 2003 album Wince At The Sun, Zeeb and Chee started work as Oblique Brown in 2004. The resulting album is a mix of hip hop swagger, heartbreak, celebration, and ultimately, is a snapshot into the life of a young man in America grappling with being a "brown man in a white world, living through black music".
