lyrics

out of time, come to regret it
lone and skin and bones
compromised and apathetic
hopeless, skin and bones
simplified, made to forget it
stoned and skin and bones

the feel
of the cold
skin and bones
skin and bones
as we bleed
on the floor

haunted by the ghosts of habit
moans the skin and bones
one two three four five six seven
cloned and skin and bones
fallen from a heartless heaven
crows the skin and bones

with his feet
on our throats
skin and bones
skin and bones
the king
on his throne
skinnin' bones
