Skeleton For School

A skeleton for school An apple for the teacher A feast fit for a fool An adolescent creature Consumed with how it seems And lost within the hunger for belonging Sleep my child, the world is ever wanting A sedentary life The packages are piling I wonder what's outside And if the sun is shining I've taken all I can To fill the empty space inside my soul Will I sleep tonight or just spin in the unknown Call me over, break some bread Play a song to wake the dead And when I leave to go to bed You'll blow your brains right out your head A wreck we learn to love A requiem for lovers I'll miss you now you're gone There truly is no other The future and the past Conspire to keep me far from where I am The days go by so fast, and we're just doing the best we can The days go by so fast, and we're just doing the best we can
