Skin & bones - Daytrader

Atropos has called out to me

She says, «This is where and when you’ll die»

So I reply, «What happens next?»

And receive no answer this time

So it just sinks

It sinks into my bones

The sinking anchor

The intolerable weight

My fate will find my here

A silken thread always finds where it came from

She calls again

Another where, another when

But it piques no interest this time, no

I reply again, «I do not fear death»

But it’s a lie

It’s always a lie

So it just sinks

It’s a lie

So it just

It sinks into my bones

Sinking angrily and sorrowfully

My fate will find my here

A silken thread always finds where it came from

The thread’s still tethered

The questions asked are left with no answers yet to speak of

At twilight, still left with no answers

Skin and bones left to wonder if it’s a lie

It sinks into my bones

Sinking angrily and sorrowfully

My fate will find my here

A silken thread always finds where it came from

My fate will find me here

I’ll bleed where I’ve bled

At twilight we’ll be free
