Skeletons And Spirits Lyrics - Singles - Allison Crowe

Skeletons and Spirits 

Words & Music by Allison Crowe 

Take your sympathy and shove it 

as for the pain, 

well, I love it 

I'll eat your words 

I'll devour your soul 

I will laugh like a lemur 

as you crawl back into your hole 

I won't deny you, 

but I'll pay you no heed 

And, if you keep stabbing me, 

I will probably bleed 

But, I'll pretend I'm a cloud 

and my rain will surround you 

And if you keep hurting me 

I'll eventually drown you 

And, yes I know 

I'm a little bit off 

But, you, you can't leave, you can't open the door 

you think you're unique but I've seen you before 

so run, run away from the fires that burn 

you will do this again and again 

but you will never learn 

So keep looking down 

as you crush me keep smiling 

'cause I will get up 

and there's no denying 

that I am one of your punching clowns 

you can keep on striking 

but you can't keep me down 

You always think that you 

are fearless and right 

but I think that you 

are afraid in the night 

of the ghosts, of the spirits 

that crawl into your head 

of the skeletons that'll haunt you 

until you're dead 

but, now, you can't leave, you can't open the door 

you think you're unique but I've seen you before 

so run, run away from the fires that burn 

you will do this again and again and again and again 

but, now, you can't leave, you can't open the door 

you think you're unique but I've seen it all before 

so run, run away from the fires that burn 

but you will never learn 

you will never learn 

you will never learn
