A Trophy of Skin

Suddenly reality alters
Stops short of love and falters
It's just a simple structure built of bone, blood and skin
A perfect marionette
Dancing to the lovely beat of a million dying hearts
A trophy of skin

And feeling time spins away
Like a sparrow on broken wings
Another fallen angels plight
They leave me haunted
Those screaming orchestras in constant need of flight
A trophy of skin

And all is lost on a strangers kiss
Lost in my receding dreams
And suddenly reality alters
Stops short of love and falters
Like a sparrow on broken wings
And it's a beat of my dying heart
And all is lost on a strangers kiss
This trophy of skin
Falls with dust
This trophy of skin
A trophy of skin
