Skeletons and Clones

I’ll bite the hand that feeds me

You’ll try and say you need me

But I’m already fucking gone

Like a clock

That’s stopped ticking

Mould on the wall

Why can’t they ever be alone?

What can I give you from my bones?

My hands were tied long ago

The rope’s loosening, I hope

You already fucking know

The marks on my throat show

Things like that

Don’t just go

What do you think I owe?

Tried to love me but I choked

I don’t know what this is

I’m telling you all I know

What this is…

Is the skeletons and bones

I’m swearing my oath

Can’t ever leave me alone

Don’t just love me for your own

I can’t stand here anymore

The swimming pool deep end

Is safer than this road

What do you think I owe?

Tried to love me but I choked

I know what this is

They hid me from it all

Tried to kick down your door

How could they stand there

And ignore?

My skeletons and bones

Your skeletons and clones

Skeletons and clones

Are breaking up my bones

Buried in deep, mark left on my throat

You couldn’t just go? Left me alone?

All the sharp teeth, lined up in rows

They were always there, I suppose

(Tried to love me but I choked)

(There's nothing that I owe)

(Nothing that I owe)

(I still choke, labelled as broke) (I miss the smell of smoke)

(The love I gave unwillingly)

(They all look the same to me)

(So I choke and I choke)

(Can my brain let me free?)

(I need to be free, I need to not be needed)

(Need him not to need) (me)

(Fractured and incomplete) (Nobody’s job to set me free)

(Why is that all I seek?)

(I sharpen my teeth, maybe that’s what makes me bleed)

((HE JUST LOVED ME FOR HIS OWN))

((HAD TO HEAL FROM IT ALONE))

Everyone else is a clone

I won’t wait for him to reach bone
