skeleton times

Originally taken from the album Shaming Of The True, 2001CE

we're drawing out lines
in these skeleton times
laying bricks in the walls
that we're building to keep us apart
& charity's shown
but it ends in the home
& we're running in rings
round the strings that are tugging our hearts

never seen you before
I won't see you again
so goodbye my friend
& I dare you to miss me at all
how long 'till the memory dies?
I look in your eyes
& I dare you to miss me at all

& we're silent as mimes
in these skeleton times
turn away from the fray
& pretend we don't notice the fall
& we won't meet the eye
of the person who's crying
for fear they'll infect us
emotion makes fools of us all

never seen you before
I won't see you again
so goodbye my friend
& I dare you to miss me at
all of you people
don't know who I am
I don't give a damn
& I dare you to miss me at all

& I swear I won't miss you at all
