Skeleton
The masses agree you should cast off your demons
And banish all beasts of the past to the past
But it turns out that bearing weight strengthens your bones
It's freeing, of course, to discard your disasters
You're tired and just need to rest at long last
The masses agree you should cast off your demons
Your flesh is just dressing for carved alabaster
And nobody wants the whole thing to collapse
But steadfastly bearing weight strengthens your bones
I'm certain you'd rather forget what you asked her
And how her reply drew a painful contrast
The masses agree you should cast off your demons
You know once you're free of them you can move faster
Without all the weight of regrets you've amassed
But trust me that bearing weight strengthens your bones
The preacher agrees with the priest and the pastor
Your skeleton's burdened by iconoclasts
The masses agree you should cast off your demons
But it turns out that bearing weight strengthens your bones
