It’s been a long time since I talked to you
I could say I miss you but it’s not the truth
We said like five words then we walked away
I could tell the energy was not the same
But still we stayed calm and we went through the motions
You eyes were deceptively broken
Dark blue like the depths of the ocean
I’m lost in the moment
I can’t escape
Cause you felt a way
You’re manic depressive and passive aggressive
And I couldn’t stay
Take another breath in slow
I could never let this go
Our skeletons are etched in stone
And every single effort that I murdered was a blessing and a burden
Cause I never got a yes or no
I expect that though
How do you live like that?
Down in the shadows
Down in a ditch like that
I can’t see
How do you live like that?
Drowned in the ocean
Down an abyss like that
I can’t breathe
It’s been a long time since I spoke to you
Late at night I wonder if you told the truth
Cause every fault line left an open wound
And every single memory is broke in two
But still we stayed calm and we moved through the motions
Your eyes were delusive and frozen
Dark blue like the view from the Tobin
I’ll jump in a moment
I can’t escape
Cause you felt a way
You’re manic depressive and passive aggressive
And I couldn’t stay
Take another breath in slow
I could never let this go
Our skeletons are etched in stone
And every single effort that I murdered was a blessing and a burden
Cause I never got a yes or no
I expect that though
I couldn’t see
I couldn’t breathe
I couldn’t live like that

Skeletons

I feel terrible sleeping
I feel skeletons creeping in
Something’s dead in my dreams
I better find peace or someone to believe in
I'm in bed with my demons
I feel chemicals seeping in
I can’t rest when I sleep
I better find peace or someone to believe in
Sounds like a broken record
Feels like I said this before
Your heart was so dependent
I hear it under the floorboards
But there’s a fine line that separates reality from how I reminisce your decline
And every moment I tried to disregard the atrophy you lost another piece of your mind
A piece of your mind
Throwback to ‘97
That was an easier time
I never tried pretending
You never needed a lifeline
But that was years now and I never expected I would step outside my ignorant bliss
Wish I could put these fears down, admit that I was reckless and there had to be a signal I missed
A signal I missed

Ravens

There’s a hope in the dark
Just a spark
I won’t pretend that I know who you are
You’re a shadow inside
So am I
Our former selves cast a dwindling light
And it’s dark in my head
I hear them again
The ravens outside on a white picket fence
I don’t what they say said
They beckon me towards the end
That I desperately try to prevent
Woah
These skeletons know
Woah
Time won’t tell you the truth
I won’t sell your excuse
Cause lies grow under these roots
And I know
This forest is overgrown
The ties are cut and severed
And I've been doing better
But I would wait forever
To see you both together
But I know what you would do
Your legacy follows me
Ravens are calling me down
There's a hope behind cellar doors
Just a light
Methadone reservoirs ended your life
And if that's where I'm headed for
I’m alright
I won't see heaven for many more nights
But it’s hell where I’ve been
I hear them again
The ravens outside on a white picket fence
I don't know what they said
They beckon me towards the end
That I desperately try to prevent
Woah
These skeletons know
Woah
I’ve been awake for so many days
I couldn’t tell you ‘cause I was afraid
I’ve been away for so many days
I couldn’t find you ‘cause I was afraid
Ravens are calling me down

Brave Faces Everyone
by Spanish Love Songs
supported by 26 fans who also own “Skeletons”
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up.
