Skeletons and Spirits - Allison Crowe

Take your sympathy and shove it

As for the pain

Well, I love it

I’ll eat your words

I’ll devour your soul

I will laugh like a lemur

As you crawl back into your hole

I won’t deny you

But I’ll pay you no heed

And, if you keep stabbing me

I will probably bleed

But, I’ll pretend I’m a cloud

And my rain will surround you

And if you keep hurting me

I’ll eventually drown you

And, yes I know

I’m a little bit off

But, you, you can’t leave, you can’t open the door

You think you’re unique but I’ve seen you before

So run, run away from the fires that burn

You will do this again and again

But you will never learn

So keep looking down

As you crush me keep smiling

'cause I will get up

And there’s no denying

That I am one of your punching clowns

You can keep on striking

But you can’t keep me down

You always think that you

Are fearless and right

But I think that you

Are afraid in the night

Of the ghosts, of the spirits

That crawl into your head

Of the skeletons that’ll haunt you

Until you’re dead

But, now, you can’t leave, you can’t open the door

You think you’re unique but I’ve seen you before

So run, run away from the fires that burn

You will do this again and again and again and again

But, now, you can’t leave, you can’t open the door

You think you’re unique but I’ve seen it all before

So run, run away from the fires that burn

But you will never learn

You will never learn

You will never learn
