"Small Skeletal" lyrics

"Small Skeletal"

As they laid my bones down at the crossroads, saw my ghost
Sell my soul to the inferno for petrol to get home
Now each day I sink a bit faster into my father's fate
Four packs a day for decades straight, right to an unmarked grave

I used to think it would sleep
I used to think it would sleep
I used to think it would sleep

As I laid my cross down at the bones beneath my feet
She came, the face of a saint, the voice of a symphony
She says, "The future will be devoid of weaknesses"
Free cigarettes for all the kids to make small skeletons

I used to think it would sleep
I used to think it would sleep
I used to think it would sleep

I used to think as I aged with time
It would shut its eyes and just let me be
I'd seen its designs to kill and hide
Deceitfully inside my skin
And I've been hunting it ever since
