Skin & Bones
Jacob Thomas Jr. Lyrics

Every morning when the sun comes up
At the start of each day, I feel a sense of dread and unease.

I shiver like the shutters when the wind picks up
I am filled with fear, like the way shutters shake during a storm.

Oh no, Oh no
I am overwhelmed with anxiety and apprehension.

I know outside there are monsters to feed
I am aware that there are many threats and dangers lurking outside.

But i dont know if i can take another day with me
I am unsure if I can handle another day of my own thoughts and feelings.

I guess we'll see
I hope things will work out, but I am not certain.

Maybe i ain't made up of skin and bone
Perhaps I am not a physical being, but rather, a collection of emotions and experiences.

My conscience never sticks cause my heart is made of stone
I do not feel guilty for my actions, because I am emotionally detached and unfeeling.

I'm telling you now before it goes too far
I want to warn you that this relationship may become toxic or destructive.

Even if you try you can never break my heart
I am guarded and closed off, and it is impossible for you to truly hurt me.

And every evening when the sun goes down
At the end of each day, I feel a sense of relief and release.

Making my way to the evening sounds, oh no
I am trying to distract myself with noise and activity, to avoid thinking too much.

You hang me up like a spinning top
You toy with my emotions and leave me feeling disoriented and unstable.

You stalk me baby and you never gonna stop
Your obsession with me is intense and unrelenting.

Until I drop
You will continue to pursue and torment me until I am completely exhausted.

But i can tear you apart
Despite my emotional detachment, I am still capable of causing harm and destruction.

And every evening when you get home
At the end of your day, you come back to me and our toxic relationship.

Falling like the leaves until we get stoned
We try to numb ourselves with alcohol or drugs, to escape the pain and suffering.

You can make believe baby we're just friends
You try to pretend that our relationship is innocent and casual, when it is anything but.

We're old enough to know how the story ends
We are both mature adults, and we should know better than to continue with this destructive relationship.

Oh, no
Despite my warnings and apprehension, I am still drawn to this toxic relationship.

We'll know when to let go
Ultimately, we will need to acknowledge when it is time to move on and let go of this relationship.

Cause after everything has been said and done
Once all is said and done, and we have experienced the full extent of this relationship, we will understand the consequences.

We're guessing we'll never know what it means to love someone.
Despite our experiences, we may never truly understand what it means to truly love someone.
