Skeletons

Nina Nesbitt

Put on my shoes and see through my eyes
It's hard to judge what you can't visualise
And as the night falls and shadows creep,
The air is silent on my street
Lying in my bed, questions in my head
And it's all so, so quiet, quiet

Then skeletons come out to play
When my mind wonders and memories fade, fade
Telling me I'll never win as I'm betting
My last coins on the game, the game
So close that door, and I'll seal the floors
And they'll die away

Like a building I will fall to the ground
Then what am I with only foundations?
And as the night falls and shadows creep,
The air is silent on my street
Lying in my bed, questions in my head
And it's all so, so quiet, quiet

Then skeletons come out to play
When my mind wonders and memories fade
Telling me I'll never win as I'm betting
My last coins on the game, the game
So close that door, I'll seal the floors
And they'll die away

Skeletons, remind me, where I have been
Skeletons, remind me, what could have been
So close that door, I'll seal the floors

Then skeletons come out to play
When my mind wonders and memories fade
Telling me I'll never win as I'm betting
My last coins on the game, the game
So close that door, I'll seal the floors
And they'll die away

Then skeletons come out to play
When my mind wonders and memories fade
