Here are original lyrics inspired by “Pirate Bones” by Natasha Bedingfield:
—
**Verse 1**
I dug for gold in strangers’ eyes
Wore the mask, told the lies
Treasure maps on velvet walls
Empty chests in hollow halls
**Pre-Chorus**
All the jewels couldn’t buy me sleep
Counting coins that cut too deep
**Chorus**
I don’t want these pirate bones
Stolen thrones and broken homes
Bury me with nothing owned
I don’t want these pirate bones
**Verse 2**
Sailed the seas of borrowed fame
Every port, a different name
Parrots repeat what I want to hear
But the mirror shows a buccaneer
**Outro**
Throw it overboard, let it sink
Find me on the shore, I think
I finally know what I need most
Something real, not pirate bones
