Skin and Bone

I’m skin and bone in the mirror’s stare

A shadow moves but there’s no one there

My heart’s a bird with broken wings

It beats

It beats

But it barely sings

I whisper prayers into the cold

A story’s told but it’s getting old

Help me

I’m falling through the cracks

No map

No light

I can’t find my tracks

Skin and bone

That’s all I’ve got

A fragile flame

A fading spot

I’m tired of nights that never end

A ghost of me

I can’t pretend

The bed’s too big

The room’s too wide

I lost myself

I lost my guide

I scream at walls

They never hear

My voice is gone

It disappears

Help me

I’m falling through the cracks

No map

No light

I can’t find my tracks

Skin and bone

That’s all I’ve got

A fragile flame

A fading spot
