Skin and Bones Lyrics
I'm just skin and bones, there's no mystery
All your spare parts were used up by someone else
Things like deja vu and acid rain
Full of someone else's thoughts
Will we be alright left alone tonight
We're just carbon-based, we're just pixy dust
Some quick slight of hand just to make us think
What if consciousness can't expand
And we fool ourselves with absurd demands
We just grow up to fade away
Will we be alright left alone tonight
I'm just skin and bones
What if there's nothing more to you
Will anyone remember, (or?) does it all just simply turn to dust
Will we be alright left alone tonight
Will we be alright will we be alright...
*Tonight tonight tonight* (Backing vocals)
Will we get lost slowly drifting through these dead and lonesome heights
Will we be alright left alone tonight
It's definitely depressing, but the tone somewhat contradicts the lyrics.
It has a hint of hope in it. The chorus is simply amazing, AND amazingly simple.
bummer, I worked so hard on these and you beat me to it... oh well, here are the lyrics with the complete backing vocals, if you want to edit yours :)
What if there's nothing more to me? I'm just skin and bones, there's no mystery. What if you're just an empty shell? All your spare parts are used up by somebody else. What if there's no way to explain some things, Like deja vu, and acid rain? What if we're all just broken shells with someone else's thoughts?
Will we be alright, left alone tonight? Will we be alright, left alone tonight?
What if there's nothing more to us, We're just carbon-based, we're just pixie dust? What if life is a magic trick, Some quick slight-of-hand just to make us think? What if consciousness can expand, And we fool ourselves with absurd demands? What if there is no point at all, We just grow up to fade away?
Will we be alright, left alone tonight? Will we be alright, left alone tonight? Will we get lost, slowly drifting through these dead and lonesome heights? Will we be alright, left alone tonight?
What if there's nothing more to me? I'm just skin and bones. (skin and bones) What if there's nothing more to you? (more to you)
What if there's nothing left for us? (left for us, for us) Will anyone remember, or does it all just simply turn to dust? (Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it tonight?) Will we be alright? (Can you feel it? I can feel it, and the feeling is alright, alright) Will we be alright, left alone tonight? Will we be alright? (Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it tonight?) Will we be alright? (Can you feel it? I can feel it, and the feeling is alright) Will we be alright, left alone tonight? Will we be alright? (Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it tonight?) Will we be alright? (Can you feel it? I can feel it, and the feeling is alright) Will we be alright, left alone tonight?
Will we be alright, left alone tonight? (tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight) Will we be alright, left alone tonight? (tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight) Will we get lost, slowly drifting through these dead and lonesome heights? Will we be alright, left alone tonight? Will we be alright, left alone tonight? Will we be alright, left alone tonight?
wow, fail on my part. 2nd verse should be:
wow, fail on my part. 2nd verse should be:
What if consciousness <b>can't</b> expand?
What if consciousness <b>can't</b> expand?
and the 2nd and 3rd chorus should say: dead<b>-end</b> lonesome heights?

Are me and Justin the same person?
A mellow and somewhat depressing outlook on the negative idea of life. "What if there's nothing more to us, we're just carbon-based, we're just pixie dust?"
We've all been there and wondered the same thing. Once again Justin relates to all of us...
Left alone with your existential thoughts, will you self-destruct? Can you make it through this spell of depression?
"What if we're all just broken shells Full of someone else's thoughts"
It's defiantly "What if we're all just broken shelves, Full of someone else's thoughts"
Seems like he is depressed about people being fake or some people being lifeless.
