Skeleton key

Take this skeleton key

Go unlock my tomb

Ill never break free

There is no elbow room

All lights have gone out

Blind to memory

Lost and full of doubt

As found as I’ll ever be

Wind whispers through my mind

Breathing in the cold

Egress so hard to find

Back to the days of old

Heavy stone

Withered bone

Dreams of being free

Ghostly moan

To die alone

And a turn of the skeleton key

Crushing weight

Far too late

Hung from a dying tree

Shackled gate

Hand of fate

And a turn of the skeleton key

Eons slowly passing by

Body flakes with rust

As oceans shrink and dry

The soul decays to dust

What’s the meaning of it all

When all is said and done

What’s to come after the fall

Way past the setting sun

Wind whispers through my mind

Breathing in the cold

Egress so hard to find

Back to the days of old

Heavy stone

Withered bone

Dreams of being free

Ghostly moan

To die alone

And a turn of the skeleton key

Crushing weight

Far too late

Hung from a dying tree

Shackled gate

Hand of fate

And a turn of the skeleton key

Please release me

With a turn of the skeleton key
