Skeleton For School

A skeleton for school
An apple for the teacher
A feast fit for a fool
An adolescent creature
Consumed with how it seems
And lost within the hunger for belonging
Sleep my child, the world is ever wanting

A sedentary life
The packages are piling
I wonder what’s outside
And if the sun is shining
I’ve taken all I can
To fill the empty space inside my soul
Will I sleep tonight or just spin in the unknown

Call me over, break some bread
Play a song to wake the dead
And when I leave to go to bed
You’ll blow your brains right out your head

A wreck we learn to love
A requiem for lovers
I’ll miss you now you’re gone
There truly is no other
The future and the past
Conspire to keep me far from where I am
The days go by so fast, and we’re just doing the best we can
The days go by so fast, and we’re just doing the best we can
