Skeletons Bleed
"SKELETONS BLEED"
black roses fight for air
they'll never bloom
while the weeds grow
out of arrogance
skeletons bleed
skies blood red
clouds lose faith
the darkness is
the world for many
skeletons bleed
what are you waiting for?
what are we waiting for?
the days ahead fall short
to the blackest of nights
skeletons bleed
rainbows stand broken
like glass on a broken frame
the faces have no names
the names have no faces
skeletons bleed
they were taken from me
I'll ask, "How do you do?"
you must never forget
to you both, I love you
skeletons bleed
as they stand ready to fight
the tears never came
oh, how they've grown
I love them more
than they'll ever know
soon their faces
will be mine
and they'll carry
it with pride
as the skeletons bleed
in this forlorn world.
