Skull and Bones

from 333 EP by Deer Thomas

lyrics

Skull and bones, and yet, and yet
And yet not a skeleton, not yet
At least not dead man, and yet
Sometimes it feels I might as well be

Does that make me some kind of freak?
Well, that's exactly what some seek
And although that means nothing to me
Sometimes it feels it could just as well be

Now the waltz is a winner, though akin to sin
And I'm back with the poems of saints

The song felt good, I had it turned up
It filled me like a gumball machine
But the fog rose in and I was dispensed
And it was cheap

Quivering hands
Clutching five cents worth to the coin slot
All the more hollow as the fog rose in
And I pried inside of you

If only to solve
The ticking clockwork of a terrifying mind
A faint idea it is my own that scares me
It soils my intentions with a desire to win

Call it possession

Bandaged up as an artist
Masquerading as a fraud

Skull and bones, and yet, and yet
And yet not a skeleton, not yet
At least not a dead man, and yet
Sometimes it feels I might as well be

Does that make me some kind of freak?
And that's exactly what some seek
And although that means fuck all to me
Sometimes it feels it could just as well be

Now the waltz is a winner though akin to sin
And I'm back with the poems of saints

Now the waltz is a winner though akin to sin
And I'm back with the poems of saints
A prince masquerading as a frog
And an artist as a dog
