lyrics

never heard explosions
look that big but sound so soft
we roll down a single crooked rail
thats where before youd get off

i gave everything i had
and it barely caused a dent
wont you dance with me
when those 7 hurricanes come in
and take us away
walking in a skeleton
hand in hand with you

let me take you in my boat
down stream the venice like waterways of new york city
can you believe that we used to walk
way down there some 20 feet below

but wow i love you sore
i can just look in you and
it somehow just
makes it all seem somehow romantic
like i almost could get used to life
walking in a skeleton
hand in hand with you

take me to your camp
introduce me to your friends all gathered there
well chart a course to the island of forbes
and bring back classic piracy like we ought to

you give me hope when its now a joke
if im the last smiling human in the world
ill do it holding you
as we make up the best night we can have
walking in a skeleton
hand in hand with you

i gave everything i had
and it barely caused a dent
wont you dance with me
when those 7 hurricanes come in
and take us away
wow i love you sore
i can just look in you and
it somehow just
makes it all seem romantic
like i almost could get used to life
walking in a skeleton
hand in hand with you

Cartoon Network will always be my favorite for the pure trauma venting, but Music... Music makes me cry every time I listen. I want to say both are my favorite, but Bandcamp sucks ass lol danijayy
