By Courtney Johnston Peel away my rotten skin, Expose my brittle bones. Set me in a burning chariot, Douse me in the sea. Warm my tomb with tears, Bury me in solitude. Pick my bones with knives, Take my voice in pieces. I need the release, To go somewhere free. I walk to the gates, Hoping it's my time. A skeleton you call me, Grinding me to dust. I am nothing, I am exposed.
By Courtney Johnston
Peel away my rotten skin,
Expose my brittle bones.
Set me in a burning chariot,
Douse me in the sea.
Warm my tomb with tears,
Bury me in solitude.
Pick my bones with knives,
Take my voice in pieces.
I need the release,
To go somewhere free.
I walk to the gates,
Hoping it's my time.
A skeleton you call me,
Grinding me to dust.
I am nothing,
I am exposed.
