Sinkorswim Lyrics by Malkovich Music

Skeletons

2006

Sink or swim
A faceless man stands staggered
Paintbrush in one hand, pallette in other
Splattering every culture
I mean color on a canvas, haphazard
Strokes unplanned, satellite unmanned
Paint contacts, expands and drips slow
Like raindrops on windows
But the scenery's on top as well as below
Tremble tremolo, two-treble-o
Deuce deuces bellowing over open archipelagoes
And the record goes
Everything around me keeps going down and down
While this ball of dirt keeps spinning round and round
Everything around me keeps going down and down
But this ball of dirt keeps spinning round and round
Eight billion individuals
Sleeping and eating
And living and dreaming and killing and stealing
Civilians
Criminals
Constants
Variables
Morals
Dismissing rules
Normal
Shit to lose
Barbarians
Infidels
Battalions
Terrorist cells
Isaac
Ishmael
Crisis
Morning bell
Kills
Casualties
Mobs
Families
Bomb 'em till there's no more problem then build gradually
Over bodies of soldiers, property holders
Peasants
Presidents
Believed in God but life is not what He told us
So people lay bedridden
And wonder if the world is moving or their heads just spinning
And in the interim, business is imminent
Militants kill innocents, citizens hunt immigrants
The bigoted birth the ignorant
Cuz hungry babies make quiet little kids
Confused adolescents and full-grown killers
In a cycle of idle principles, mindless rituals
A rhymebook of listless riddles and still we keep scribbling
Higher and lower
And over and under
And cover to cover
And only to discover
Everything around me keeps going down and down
But this ball of dirt keeps spinning round and round
Everything around me keeps going down and down
But this ball of dirt keeps spinning round and round
