Skeletons are Slight

by Lonely Robot

/

lyrics

Looking out my window I see birds that fly but never settle
Sometimes they alight when the branches bend and I think that's sensible
For their skeletons are slight but they can't be told to just give in

We seem always to be forgotten

So line up all the angles of this joy austere and we can feel sincere
We'll celebrate the endings like they're something new, but we're anxious too
That nothing's really changed and we're all too scared to see this through

We seem always to be forgotten

If this is common sense then I can see how this falls in the end
I call it selfishness, you call it hope but that's no hill to defend
Forget the lonely ones. Forget that we were them once
Forget the hidden ones. Forget that we could be them

We seem always to be forgotten
