Two Skeletons

Little girl walks through the backyard Trippin' over rocks and toy cars She bends down to pick one up And fights the urge to scream and run A pair of lizards croaked in the backseat And creatures great and small Have to answer to the call But little girl wonders who's at fault For how they met their end How they became two skeletons Diggin' through the dirt, movin' through time Excavate the memories of fire in the sky Who'd have thought remains of love could be what they would find How it must have felt to hold on for dear life As mother nature weeps And rubble comes in heaps The ash that paints their cheeks Had saved them in the end As they became two skeletons Life's a cruel but gentle thing Sometimes you say f*ck it all And others you can't help but sing And if I had my way Everything gold would stay But I've learned that living's all I got When final breath is drawn When all those tears are gone And life as we know it goes on The sun comes down again Will you lie with me to the end As we become two skeletons
