Dancing Skeleton

Crawl out of my skin Perhaps I’ll dance with my own skeleton To the beat of rattling bones To the rhythm of deafening tones Without flesh I’m free No longer attached to my body It’s weight now just a memory Identity transcends me Haunting thoughts won’t let me be Performing my own lobotomy Slicing away at all I’ve seen Carving my skull clean Another burden left behind Such a wonderful way to waste a mind Waltzing becomes easy with an empty head Staggering so gracefully I could wake the dead.
