Skeleton

I hear you down the hall
Don't sound like footsteps at all
Crawling into view
I can't believe what's become of you

If I wanted to
I could reach my hand inside your chest
And look for the heart
That I know has been laid to rest

Your black eyes
I can't see them anymore
They're darker
Than they ever were before

You're only a skeleton
Nothing but a skeleton
You're only a skeleton

You reach out for my arm
Your jagged bones they leave a mark
Try to make a sound
Only air and dust come out

Everything that made you
You has been gone for a while
Now all I recognize
Your forever crooked smile

Your features
Have been left out to decay
Everything I once loved
Has gone away

Now you're only a skeleton
Nothing but a skeleton
You're only a skeleton

You're only a skeleton
Nothing but a skeleton
You're only a skeleton
