Lyrics

Skeleton

No one likes a crybaby kid
Swallow your fear, keep your feelings hid
So I work to harden my skin
You can’t touch me if you can’t get in

All alone safe in my Skeleton

Look at me I bounce when I fall
Look at me I feel nothing at all
Put me up there on your highest wire
I will leap right through your fields of fire

All alone I inspire

When I built this shell I could not see
I left outside all that I need

Hard and thin growing brittle in the sun
Please crack me now so I can come undone
I will work to soften my new skin
You can’t touch me if you can’t get in

All alone trapped in my Skeleton
