Acrylic

Silver crisp hair and ruby eyes
With thin lips that tend to lie
Are the only reason air slides between my decaying teeth.
It's like I'm walking on my knees.
The ground is hard.
It's cold like it's freezing.

Goldfish swim in the glass bowl that's stopped in my chest.
Secrets, they learn--oh, shit.
Sh, we don't talk about that.

My skin is being ripped from the thread of my bones.
The skeleton's have arrived.
I've got some rattling in my closet.
I've got skeleton ribs between my eyes.
I've got skeletons and I'm one too.
Yeah, I have empty bones.

Button nose and a straw hat
With spaghetti dreads that play for cash
Are how we scarecrows learn to walk.
I guess my eyes are zipped, blood's on my lip,
And I'm not screaming.
It's like I stopped breathing.

Goldfish swim in the glass bowl that's stopped in my chest.
Secrets, they learn--oh, shit.
Sh, we don't talk about that.

My skin is being ripped from the thread of my bones.
The skeleton's have arrived.
I've got some rattling in my closet.
I've got skeleton ribs between my eyes.
I've got skeletons and I'm one too.
Yeah, I have empty bones.

Rubber erasers touch my brain with acrylic paints.
Go ahead, mess me up til I forget.
Then you should rewrite it.
I won't let you wrap my bones around my tongue.
Plants grow, sprouted from our veins.
What turned humanity insane?

Goldfish swim in the glass bowl that's stopped in my chest.
Secrets, they learn--oh, shit.
Sh, we don't talk about that.

My skin is being ripped from the thread of my bones.
The skeleton's have arrived.
I've got some rattling in my closet.
I've got skeleton ribs between my eyes.
I've got skeletons and I'm one too.
Yeah, I have empty bones.
