Skeleton key Lyrics by ​goneafteraugust

maybe in another life

2023

[Chorus]
Used to push my car across the street and now it's push to start
You said I’m just not what you need and it ripped me apart
Valet better not scratch my shit I'm up now, I don't need to park
I’ll give you my bones and let you craft the skeleton key to my heart
She's a red rose and I'm a dead dandelion
She's sought after most and I just float through the horizon
She doesn't say a word and they still love her when she's silent
I didn't hear a peep until I told them I was dying

[Verse 1]
If you leave now, who's gonna cry when it’s my turn?
You used to talk me down from the ledge, look how the tidеs turn
Swim until I drown, I feel like Toby with that iron
I’ll be blowing clouds, I'm smoking, O’s until my eyеs burn
I've been dancing in the darkness with the flames in my room
Help them grow and let them breathe until I get to watch them bloom
Vision fading slowly until the moment I'm consumed
Lay me down and let me rest, I feel at peace inside this tomb
Fire in the heart sends smoke to the head
If you're gonna lose your life, I’d rather God take me instead
I'm clinging on to hope and hanging by a fraying thread
Everything I ever wanted you to know was left unsaid

[Chorus]
Used to push my car across the street and now it's push to start
You said I'm just not what you need and it ripped me apart
Valet better not scratch my shit, I'm up now, I don't need to park
I'll give you my bones and let you craft the skeleton key to my heart
She's a red rose and I'm a dead dandelion
She's sought after most and I just float through the horizon
She doesn't say a word and they still love her when she's silent
I didn't hear a peep until I told them I was dying

[Verse 2]
Inside your eyes, I saw the stars
Three of swords when I read my cards
Two in the back, one through my heart
Always wake up under it
I'm begging, please don't raise the bar
I'm about to give up everything and disappear
Just to restart

What do you have in store for me? I hope it's love, I hope it's pain
The winter storm blows over me and leaves a sheet of frozen rain
I could use your company before my ceiling gets a stain
You've always been so comforting, I know you wouldn't say the same

[Bridge]
Let the wind blow me away
Cycle like the moon, I was just a phase
Forget the story, burn the book, shred every page
I'm lost in this labyrinth, my head feels like a maze

[Chorus]
Used to push my car across the street and now it's push to start
You said I'm just not what you need and it ripped me apart
Valet better not scratch my shit, I'm up now, I don't need to park
I'll give you my bones and let you craft the skeleton key to my heart
She's a red rose and I'm a dead dandelion
She's sought after most and I just float through the horizon
She doesn't say a word and they still love her when she's silent
I didn't hear a peep until I told them I was dying
