Bone Palace Ballet

Listen up, sweetie We all know that you're a beautiful girl in this horrible world In this suggestion of horror The portraits on the walls Look at their eyes, they always seem to follow Look at their eyes, they always seem to follow me Out of tune, this tale of terror The solemn tolling of the funeral bell I want to know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours Where every day's a bone palace ballet Biting the flesh from your finger You know, I just can't help myself I wish to believe, but belief is a graveyard May this night never see morning, as finally one will not Maybe you're the one that's overrated Shriek and scream, much too horrified to speak (Yeah) Out of tune, this tale of terror The solemn tolling of the funeral bell I want to know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours Where every day's a bone palace ballet This morning, I woke up, I rubbed my eyes (Flowers of red begin to) And I took a quick glance around the room (Bloom on the white sheets) And saw what happened here last night (In her room) There was blood on the walls (Our lifeless bodies) And the sheets smelled like sweat and sex (Lying there rotten) We have narrowed it down to the butcher knife and the mockingbird (For all time) Wish us luck Out of tune, this tale of terror The solemn tolling of the funeral bell I want to know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours Where every day's a bone palace ballet

And the moment that she left the room The album started skipping Goodbye to beauty, shared with the ones that you love A shadow that has fallen over this town A shadow that has fallen over this town Attention, all of my worst critics Who were once the best of friends You're all just crows on the power lines Into romantic speculations Into romantic speculations Sightings of shape shifting Dissolved into the darkness A final opinion is of less value Than an appreciation of Intolerance for obscurity Theatrics, all made up and pianos all playing at once through the dust I found it difficult in my excitement to keep from floating off To keep from floating off Into romantic speculations Into romantic speculations A shadow that has fallen over this town A shadow that has fallen over this town A shadow that has fallen over this town I'll rest on nets made by spiders fed on drug dosed flies The spider sings alone The spider sings alone He paced the room with hurried steps And placed his hands upon his head As if he were afraid His thoughts were bursting from his brain As if he were afraid

I dropped all of my lovers I stood up and screamed, "I'm in love!" You gave it to me through the eyes, hatred Centuries deep and true I was wrong, graceless, and sick All of the things that I had learned had been wasted There was no living creature as foul as I And all of my poems were false I could feel my soul, dropping down through the mattress I had to leap up before it hit the floor And I'm so alone Illumination held out in front of my reaching arms The darker things get the better I see I'm so alone and so are you We all live and die that way You gave it to me through the eyes, hatred Centuries deep and true I was wrong, graceless and sick All of the things that I had learned had been wasted There was no living creature as foul as I And all of my poems were false There was no living creature as foul as I I could feel my soul, dropping down I could feel my soul, dropping down

I'd like to take this time to detach my jaw And really take a look I think that I'm done Put away this old guitar And on my way out Hang my vocal chords up on the door If I could just do these things If I could maybe do these things Each and every day wouldn't pass The way that they so often do That they so often do And maybe, just maybe Life would be everything we wanted it to be I could even peel the skin hiding my face And ballroom dance with the cartilage of my nose Just to show you how to really move I'll show you how to really move I'll show you how to really move I'll show you how to really move I'll show

You keep tugging on my shirt Just to pull me closer One single step at a time Your skin against mine I can just feel you wondering Fit to be tied Fit to be tied Fit to be, fit to be tied I feel weak Thrown in wide open spaces We turn ourselves inside out Expose what we're afraid to see And I know what you're thinking I tell myself I keep pulling I keep pulling Now grown numb Petrified, I think No, no, you don't mean it You simply say it because you like the way that it sounds I feel weak Thrown in wide open spaces We turn ourselves inside out Expose what we're afraid to see And I know what you're thinking I feel weak And I give up, and I give up Sell it well C'mon and sell it, sell it Sell it well C'mon and sell it, sell it I feel weak

I’m not the one that you want, I’ll only let you down And I’m pretty sure that you’ve caught on And you can say that oh, I’m just feeling sorry for my… I think it’s every time I walk into a room A silence so sudden, that I seem to hear it Context saying that you were the rain on their parade And how long could you hang onto a word? Tell me how long could you hang onto a word? I’m not the one that you want, I’ll only let you down And I’m pretty sure that you’ve caught on And you can say that oh, I’m just feeling sorry for myself But maybe it’s all eyes on him, in love with ego and intention The eyes that are just begging me for more This is gone and I can see it, your head is full of words Full of words that don’t mean anything And how long could you hang onto a word? Tell me how long could you hang onto a word? I’m not the one that you want, I’ll always let you down And I’m pretty sure that you’ve caught on And you can say that I’m just feeling sorry for myself

My eyes are glistening with the ghosts of my past The memories that we once had Now that you've turned the world against me I'm only trying to win them back With my eyes sewn shut To shut down and bathe in these words about me And now you're standing alone with your eyes to the sun Standing alone with your eyes to the sun That heaven and earth may strike their sounds together Worlds are ruined this way And we've all been there, time and time again Before the battle always seem so still (And I will see you someday again in the clouds) And I will see you someday again in the clouds All the world's a stage And all the world's a stage With my eyes sewn shut To shut down and bathe in these words about me And now you're standing alone with your eyes to the sun Standing alone with your eyes to the sun That heaven and earth may strike their sounds together Worlds are ruined this way And we've all been there, time and time again Time My eyes are glistening with the ghosts of my past And what we once had And all the world's a stage I existed because I dreamed And well, I dream no more I've given up on the entire human race Empty... is the sky before the sun wakes up Empty... is the eyes of animals in cages Empty... the faces of women in mourning When everything has been taken from them Me? Don't ask me about empty
