Forest of Bones

The days pass by In silence by your side The plastic cups Are piling up By you Ride this locomotive forward Through this blasted forest we run Lightning links the branches to us Electricity in every operation Oh this forest of bones Ride this locomotive forward Through this blasted forest we run Lightning links the branches to us Electricity in every operation Stop this missing come home Find a garden Plant a forest of bones In the background It will harden to stone Are you hungry? Are you missing your sleep? Do you feel that? Hear the surgeon’s gloves squeak? Through the garden Through the forest of bones Fingers crawling They won’t catch me, Oh No! As you watch them With their hands in my ribs Do you wonder Is it better like this? The days pass by The fireworks glow Inside the glass of your window But we Won’t celebrate This year I take my fingers from behind your ear And step out there Where friends converse Hit glasses and assume The worst As I appear Alone Inside the doorway Their eyes hang so low They know It’s “no”
