X-Patriate: Alan J. Lipman
Skeletons--Full Version
Skeletons

Sharp contained within
Their desires
Though arranged

Skeletons

Sharp desire
We link
Hip to leads
For someone else
To change

It was a
Gloriously overwrought mother
Delighting in her
But only

Absent angry fields
Incomplete ideas

Newly arranged
Link
Desire to change

Someone else's spire

Skeletons

It was a
Bright
Sunshiny
Emptiness

Like a bauble
Pursed the tools
Counterfeit

She needed a place
Hollow enough
To put the tools

For the right
Amount of fools
She sends it off

She came here
Wanting to show
Seeking connection

Desire to link
Desire to go

Skeletons
Skeletons
Skeletons
Oh
Oh

Desire to know

It was a father
Who held a saw
Threw her down
Missed the other part

A granite sorrowful compromise
Filled the remaining heart

And set you on your course
Unresolved
Entre Acte

Desire to link
Desire to connect
This is where they'd act


Oh

Hurt souls came here
Seeking connection
Seeking power

This is where they would go
Wanting
Wanting to show

Skeletons

Skeletons

Skeletons

Desire to know

Beneath the hollow temple
Beneath the solemn holy streets
Where people meet for converse
Where people there for commerce meet

Above the fallen sky
Below their fallen dreams
They march in black and compromise
And nothing's ever as it seems

For skeletons
Oh, they see

For skeletons
Rise on your sea

For skeletons

For skeletons

For

Skeletons
