lyrics

Skellington


My skeleton is uncomfortable in its skin
Sometimes I want to drop to the ground and crawl
Through the dirt and grit and gravel, the glass keeps shredding both my knees
But I’m gunna take it like any other animal
But my skeleton is uncomfortable in its skin

My skeleton uncomfortably weighs me down
When not paralyzed its heavy with the fear
So I’m pulling all my teeth out and I’m tugging at my hair
I’ll rip off every inch of flesh until I’m just not here

My skeleton is eating its way out of me
Tucking away at the bladder and those veins
Eyes, nose and liver, shoulders, toes and knees
Every single thing butts the brain

Everything breaks over time
Everything flakes over time
Everything aches over time
Every lover hates over time
Every other fakes over time
I bleed for me and mine all of the time

You can spend your whole life studying anatomy
And be a connoisseur of the muscles and the bones
The Fibulas, the Tibulas and the helmets on the knees
And you will think you know me well but sweetheart, you so don’t

Because my skeleton is uncomfortable in my skin
No matter what I take, the ache ain’t vanishing
There’s more to being a junky than just doing heroine
So put a lid on all that criticising

Everything breaks over time
Everything flakes over time
Everything aches over time
Every lover hates over time
Every other fakes over time
I bleed for me and mine all of the time
All things ache
All things ache
All things ache over time
You do, yeah you do and I do too.

My skeleton is uncomfortable in its skin
