I have callouses on hands that's used to be soft Tanned in places that used to be pale Muscles forming in a body that used to be frail Polish on nails I used to tear Soft phrases in a mouth that likes to swear Staring at a wall like there's someone there Remembering back when I thought life was fair My life keeps changing as I ascend the stairs Moving on in life all on my own Skeletons in my closet Hiding in my home Sometimes I feel Alone

Alone
I have callouses on hands that's used to be soft Tanned in places that used to be pale Muscles forming in a body that used to be frail Polish on nails I used to tear Soft phrases in a mouth that likes to swear Staring at a wall like there's someone there Remembering back when I thought life was fair My life keeps changing as I ascend the stairs Moving on in life all on my own Skeletons in my closet Hiding in my home Sometimes I feel Alone
