They say that everything is black and white
You’re in the wrong or you do what’s right
But nothing’s fair
No one fucking cares
All I ever learned was tragedy

Life is gonna leave you quicker than you know
Slip right through your hands when you think you’ve got the rope
I’ve seen it
We’re all, we’re all
We’re all just skin
We’re all just skin and bones

The Ides of March, just another sign
We made amends, but never said goodbye
And now you’re gone
Everything is lost
All I ever learned is

"Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why."

So as I surround myself with memories
And as I re-read this tattered book
I won’t weep when I get to the end
I’ll turn to the first page and read it again

These are the passages that made us
who we are
who we were
These are the episodes that showed us
who we are
who we were

“Skin & Bones’ is a deeply emotional song, written about the sudden loss of a person who was once very close to me. Everyday we’re stuck in our own heads worrying about trivial things and never thinking about just how fragile we are. Life can be gone in an instant. I lost one of the greatest people I ever knew.

Recording out in Joshua Tree, in the middle of the desert, made it feel like we were starting with a totally blank canvas. Without external distractions, I found myself turning my attention inward. How did I really feel? What did I really want to say about it? And once I found that, the performance just poured out of me. Talking, singing, yelling, screaming…it’s all raw emotion in this track.”
