lirik lagu king of tricks – we were skeletons

sometimes i question my ability to write, think, act, or do
either way i just want to go back
to not thinking of you and moving on
like a breeze that lifts a leaf off its tree
but who’s this me?
this mess of bones and blood that just won’t stop knocking on
the door of misery

just to act all frustrated when he answers
another poet party crasher, a mess of so much wasted breath and ugly mistakes
only a footprint left on the dirt of the world

we all argue, “we’re trying our best!”
in which case, how pathetic
our greatest attempts must be against such trials
indeed innumerable
but maybe i’m looking at it the wrong way
that this puzzlе (if even a puzzle) is not mеant to be solved
but instead observed
like the fog driven ships from the docks or the autumn trees
as they undress in preparation for their slumber in icy beds
and how their scarves and waistcoats bat about in the breeze…

all quiet now
silent, yet not seething
at once simple and deceiving
because a reflection is a conception is not real
a shadow of a puppet on the walls of the mind
take down the shade but don’t turn out the light
undress, undress for me and bare your body

so the light and the shadows may hit just right
i wish to be contained in you
as we are contained and consumed in night
i’m only a cord of wood waiting to be spent in the blossoming light
that crawls into the cool air cutting through a fevered haze

- we were skeletons
