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
