Ilsa - Skin and Bones lyrics

Yes that's him A man I know well Haunted Gaunt is he Hunchbacked Joker in silk and velour Conceals a sunken chest Curved As a damned consumptive's Skin and Bones Skin and Bones Sails and Masts Propel his locomotion Coffee rings and cigarette burns All it takes, his memory returns Hard at work Through tedium's gravity Hellishly heaviest of weights To shoulder Then shake off The close of each day I saw him stop And sway with the wind To listen for the rolling Of chariot wheels Look off at storm clouds On far out horizons Yes, everything's made To eventually break Nothing lasts No constants but changе Foul breath Betrays vile intеntions As slogans and sayings Spill from my tired frame Yet still his visage returns And my pen only produces poison Woe! Misery! Placate me! Let this red ink flow Through my fingers With one intent: May I expell this influence! Drain Festering cyst!
