Skin N Bone

Hello skin and bone welcome back to the rage of obsession Where the clouds in my head boil and burst upon a point of contention The poison comes in the form of a woman I could not have resisted Playing martyr to a cause that never really existed The prayers with precious meaning Bounce useless off the ceiling When you're hurled into choking down the LA blues Now the touch is a crutch to avoid a certain sense of disaster The guts that are wrenched are entrenched in the mold of the master Harrowed ringing trails of a tail that's never ending It's the pleasant potion mirage you now are befriending Loneliness is a friend so kind Cause it'll never leave your side When you're coaxed into sucking down the LA blues The beast that is black has you shackled to the rack of despondence There's no reply from the acts that are cracked and filled with repentance You're steeped in the tar that's not far from the asylum's admittance As the gavel pounds to sound your given life sentence Love it may be good But it sure as hell ain't fair As your joys drip down the dome of depression blues
